Of course these traits are not the sole preserve of Christians, but there is a difference. Others may believe doing a good job, being a good employee etc etc (I won’t try and spell that word again!) is right and meet, from a sense of morality, or fairness or economic fear - but a Christian does that because it is what he feels God wants him to do.

Personally, I think if there is a clash between what the job entails and what your faith demands, it is better to part ways. I hope I would have enough courage to resign rather than be fired. I wouldn’t work for a company that demanded that I work on Sundays. I wouldnt work for a company that demanded that I was dishonest. OTOH, I wouldn’t demand special treatment from my employer. I might ask, and I would certainly make it up to them, but I would not be mortified if they said no.

You would obviously make a terrible pro football player.
