This hung in the office of a ranch I used to work on. many years later, it still holds a meaning, and a truth in my heart. FWIW.
Loyalty
If you work for a man, in heaven's name work for him. If he pays you wages which supply you bread and butter, work for him; speak well of him; stand by him, and stand by the institution he represents. If put to a pinch, an ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness. If you must vilify, condemn, and eternally disparage, resign your position, and when you are outside, damn to your heart's content, but as long as you are part of the institution do not condemn it. If you do that, you are loosening the tendrils that are holding you to the institution, and at the first high wind that comes along, you will be uprooted and blown away, and will probably never know the reason why.

It's not the same words but pretty well what my dad told me when I started working show respect ,do as your ask show up and give a days work , to show your thanks for the chance to work
all that goes out the window of course when the man is a azzhat
I was 14 and told him,"If I am doing a man's job,I demand a man's pay".
When I woke up, i figgered out that a "kid" cannot do a "man's" job....

Is it the same if you work for a woman?
It is the same if you have a good work ethic and take pride in your work.
