Work addiction
Work addiction is not a positive characteristic or a virtue but a dangerous illness.
A work addict is a person who feels a compulsive need to work and who only feels satisfied when working relentlessly. After a period of time, physical and mental health begin to fail and isolation may be a consequence of the addictive behaviour.
