Hypocrisy at work is expressed several ways. We have insincere motives, what we do is not aligned with what we say or think, and our tendency to consistently judge our colleagues. A constant theme here is, am I doing things for God or to get honor and praise from my boss and co-workers.

Avoiding public displays of religiosity is essential. As a friend of mine says, if you are going to publicly pray before the meal, you better be a good tipper. Our co-workers know that our piety is useless as we tear our co-workers down. Our judgmental attitude is a disconnect.

• Matthew 6:2 — “So when you give to the poor, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be honored by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.
• Matthew 6:5 — “When you pray, you are not to be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.
• Matthew 6:16 — “Whenever you fast, do not put on a gloomy face as the hypocrites do, for they neglect their appearance so that they will be noticed by men when they are fasting. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.
• Matthew 15:7–9 — “You hypocrites, rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you: ‘This people honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far away from Me. ‘But in vain do they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.’ ”
• Matthew 22:18 — But Jesus perceived their malice, and said, “Why are you testing Me, you hypocrites?“
• Matthew 23:5–7 — “But they do all their deeds to be noticed by men; for they broaden their phylacteries and lengthen the tassels of their garments. They love the place of honor at banquets and the chief seats in the synagogues, and respectful greetings in the market places, and being called Rabbi by men.”
