I think it's the "automatically rewarded" part that's the key flaw in the OP.

I recently retired after working for 40 years at the same company. My general approach (to life, not just work) is similar to the post, but with some tweaks. I would phrase it more like:

Be empathetic, and treat everyone with respect.
Work hard and be willing to volunteer for the tasks that nobody wants, but don't give so much of yourself away that you'll resent it.
Strive for fairness in your handling of situations, but never expect life to be fair because it isn't.

I had a very satisfying career. I went as high up in a leadership chain as I wanted to go, and had really enjoyable relationships with folks at all levels. But that last bit is very important: life just isn't fair. That doesn't mean we shouldn't strive for fairness though.
