tell me about the addiction of work?

Answer 1

I've been very driven to work hard, long hours. To excel beyond everyone else in hope of a promotion or even a "good job", but no. So I try a little harder and work longer hours. Still no recognition, people just expect it from you.
Then there is the other kind of addiction of work. The kind where you have to come into the office running and never quite until 5. Bringing work home is a norm, you've got to stay one step ahead, or you will fall hopelessly behind. It is depressing, you go to a psychiatrist and get anti-depressants just to deal with your workload and your co-workers. No one cares that you are doing the best you can, they only tell you that if you can't do the job thats needed there are atleast 3 people waiting to do your job in place of you.

Answer 2

The addiction to work can be caused from forming a habit of the same out of need or out of having to escape from some other reality or just plain out of being taught to do so and not knowing of another way. It can be productive or totally destructive. Probably the best example of the addictive side of work is when one has a serious problem to solve where the solution requires the attention but is hindered and rendered useless due to the need to work for no priority other than the avoidance of not working.

Answer 3

starts with a need for money. then more money. then if u dont work u may feel like you are not accomplishing something, or not doing anything productive with your time.
