The New York Times weighs in as well. Their column, When Hard Work Becomes Overwork,by Phyllis Korkki, touches on the similarities between workaholics and alcoholics. She describes stress and mental and physical damage (to workaholics and their employees). Workaholics aren’t even necessarily more productive than other workers. In fact, they may inadvertantly be creating the problems they thought they were solving “to provide the endless thrill of more work.”
So, here you are, giving your lifeblood to your career, sacrificing everything – relationships, hobbies, free time – and your organization may actually think that you are the problem! Sad, but true.
It may be time to reevaluate. Look at yourself and your work objectively. If you are a workaholic, it may be time to step back and make some changes You may need some professional help to overcome a work addiction.. Is a new career in order? Maybe. Evaluating your options and reviewing your resume can’t hurt. A transfer or new assignment may be in order. If this sounds like you, the new year is a perfect time to think about making a change.
