Yes I would take this as behaving ethically at work eg not sexually harassing co-workers, not stealing from the company by abusing the expenses system, hiring hookers on the company amex which happened at one company I worked for in the UK - and so on.
To use an example from the military "officers eat last".
- TeMPOraL 8y agoThat would be my default interpretation too, but I've seen this phrase used plenty of times to mean "working hard", or "enduring work drudgery" (without any relation to ethical issues you mentioned), so I'm confused about the correct meaning of this term, and every time I see it, I have to infer from context what it is that a commenter is talking about.
- seanmcdirmid 8y agoThe American meanings of work ethic relate to working hard or diligently. They don’t have anything to do with ethics. That would be under “work values” oddly enough.
