Must be nice to just not work
Met many people who couldn't even enjoy their month holiday a year because there wasn't anything they wanted to do. Some even worked from home in their holiday at the beach... Just because. So it seems it's not nice for many. I find it sad.
Ergomania (excessive devotion to work) is an actual mental health symptom, and it can manifest as part of several mental illnesses.
And even their employers should try to get them appropriate treatment because "workaholics" tend to have very low productivity - they don't work well in teams and are often too tired to be effective.
Yes I know. Hence I said to find it sad. And workaholics are legion not just a few. Sadly employers are often enforcing that behaviour, thinking they're the most exploitable despite probably being less productive than the regular joe.
