message: Mr. Adan, a supermarket manager, asks Henry to submit a report which is to include a background analysis of some data, and recommendations based on the interpretation of that data. Mr. Adan asks Henry to get the report together within 2 weeks. Off Henry goes, He delegates the research, analysis and report writing to one of his subordinates, Rhoda, who completes the work in ten (10) days and gives the report to Henry. Henry takes Rhoda’s work, reads it, is satisfied with the content, retypes the cover page to show his name, not Rhoda and then submit it to 
Mr. Adan as if it were his own work. He accepts praise and gives no credit to Rhoda, who in fact did the research and wrote the report.
QUESTIONS:
1.What will you do if you will be in that situation?
(Answer here)
2.What is your reaction to not being given acknowledgement of work that you have done and then seeing someone else being praised for it?
(Answer here)
3.It is possible that you answered that question by saying that subordinates are supposed to do the dirty work, the grunt work. But is not representing someone else’s work as your own a form of theft. In the same way as using company property?
(Answer here)
4.Would you tell Mr. Adan, or just leave the situation as it is and let Henry have the praise and credit?

message: The statement "Franklin claims (...)" should IMHO be in the past tense.
The quote by Gorz should have a time reference. It is very different saying it in 2012 (where many people are indeed questioning the system without being Marxists) and saying same in 1955. elpincha (talk) 16:07, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

message: There's a soviet poster saying that "Who doesn't work does not eat". I find pro-marxism bias in this article to be extensive... and ironic.. Sketches0993 (talk) 21:20, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

message: The first section "factors of a good work ethic" seems to rely entirely on the point of view of an article by Forbes magazine, which last time I checked was neither an historical nor philosophical review, but a business magazine for wanabee millionaires. 83.250.104.75 (talk) 05:23, 21 November 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is this article for real? 

message: Protestant work ethic is mentioned nowhere in this article, though protestant world view clearly have influenced the USA.
This article seems to merely reflect "work ethic" in a positive light, instead of looking at reasons why it was historically seen to be morale, and how "ethic" is really a misnomer.
Originally it was called work morale, not ethics. Ethics is about how to treat others in a just way, not how to abide by a set of rules that are deemed to be good, like is done in morale.
Societal rules are *not* ethical, they are norms.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.219.148.134 (talk) 21:37, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
