「冇功都有勞」

(pos:語句)
<explanation>
yue:就算冇立功，都有付出過努力，值得尊重；通常攞嚟針對結果，唔理付出過幾多
eng:even though somebody may not have achieved great results, they should still be respected for their hard work; usually used as a complaint when somebody's work is judged only by the outcome and others fail to appreciate the effort they put into their work
<eg>
yue:佢做咗咁多年嘢，冇功都有勞吖，你點可以話炒就炒㗎？ (keoi5 zou6 zo2 gam3 do1 nin4 je5, mou5 gung1 dou1 jau5 lou4 aa1, nei5 dim2 ho2 ji5 waa6 caau2 zau6 caau2 gaa3?)
eng:He's been working for this company for so long; you should appreciate his hard work. How can you just fire him like that?
