James 4:16 (New International Version)
"As it is, you boast and brag. All such boasting is evil."
Question: Why do people boast at work?
Possible Answer: To gain recognition for what they perceive are accomplishments.
Why do they want the recognition?
Possibly to boost their sagging ego? Maybe in hopes that the recognition will translate to bigger raises & bonuses (monitary gain)?
James 5:1-5 (New International Version)
"1Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming upon you. 2Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. 3Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. 4Look! The wages you failed to pay the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. 5You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter."
