no offense just curious, why did you post this then, or did you edit it

Good question, well I posted it, then realized I posted it at work and posting from work about work ethic was silly...who knows what they see?

Additionally, I posted too much info about myself so I chose to delete it, but there was no option to do so...I was really just wanting to see what everyones take on work ethic was because I notice that mine differs from my husband and my parents for example.

I think I have a good work ethic, I'm naturally lazy but I believe if someone's paying you to do a job you should do it...I mean, how would you feel if they didn't hold up their side and didn't pay you or something?
I know I'd be pissed off lol

I agree. I go above and beyond my job performance expectations, but also keep a balance between work and family. I work remotely from home often and when there are big projects where I end up having to work over, I am not in the office...I wait until the kids go to bed to complete the extra work hours.

I just think there is an older mentality that you aren't a good employee and you can't get ahead in life unless you are in the office working 14 hour shifts. One can get ahead without burning themselves out and putting work first for everything in life. I love where I work...I can't even begin to describe what a great place it is. There are moments when I am having to work those 14 hr shifts, but also moments when there is a lot of down time.
