    This short poem advises employees to pledge loyalty to their employer by working hard for them, speaking positively about them and their organization, and avoiding criticism while still employed. It suggests that criticizing one's employer from the outside after resigning is acceptable, but doing so from the inside risks damaging one's standing and career within the organization. Loyalty is valued over clever criticism.

    LOYALTY PLEDGE

    If you work for a man

    In heavens name, Work for him,

    Speak well of him,

    And stand by the institution that he represents.

    Remember, an Ounce of Loyalty

    Is worth a Pound of Cleverness.

    If you must growl, condemn,

    And eternally find fault,

    Why Resign your position?

    But when you are on the outside,

    Damn to your heart's content.

    But as long as you are a part of the institution,

    Do not condemn it.

    For if you do,

    The first high wind that comes along

    Will blow you away

    And probably you will never know why.
