So, just curious if there are any health professionals who could say to what extent workaholism is considered a problem by the healthcare industry, academia or society at large?
My experience of workaholism is that it contributed to my mother's death and turned the one or two potentially enjoyable jobs I've had into tedious grinds because of a couple of managers who couldn't understand why everyone wouldn't sacrifice their families and health and give up their every waking moment to working.
I won't go on about it because I think we all know the effects that people who have power over us being obsessed with work can have. I'm just wondering if there is such a thing as an organised effort to categorise it as a pathology and/or do something about it?
