I've been interested in work ethic lately. I work for a local government, and I am painfully aware of the (lack of) work ethic of my coworkers. I try as hard as I can to avoid slipping into that habit. However, I've been applying for jobs, and in all of the interviews so far, I've had the interviewers specifically ask questions about my ability to be productive with relation to my current employer. I feel like there's a stigma that I've got to overcome. It's discouraging.
That “unlearning” bullet hit me hard.
It wasn’t until I was 3 months in at a new job that I realized how much my old one made me lose, work ethic wise.
Totally agree, Benjamin.
Thank you for taking your time reading the article and for the response.
We must keep the good habits we learn no matter what, and stay away from falling in the easy habits (more than bad habits). All the best in this 2020!
This, so this... I have been dealing with that as I am taking a new project currently.

Devin, I really hope you find a nice job and finally get somewhere you feel better.
Please don't give up, keep the good ethics, good opportunities take their time to appear and reach us.
All the best and good luck!
