MoneyMoose

Do you suffer from any of the following symptoms?

1. Constant need to bore oneself with work.
2. Ignorance of the family pets/baby
3. Complete disregard to relatives
4. Annoyance at friends
5. Strong fear of socializing
6. Immense anger
7. Turning into the Hulk if coffee consumption is less than three cups a day
8. Stress

If you ever feel any of the things then you may be suffering from a rare condition called workaholism.

Apparently, for some people, work is an addiction and they can’t function without it. I wish I could meet a person of such category. They’d be perfect for MoneyMoose.

“…you’re a workaholic if you feel compelled to work for the sake of working, and you feel panic, anxiety or a sense of loss when you aren’t working…The behavior continues even if the worker becomes aware that it is personally harmful — even harmful to the quality of the work.

…More mental health professionals now consider workaholism a condition that can cause both mental and physical damage.

Most workaholics are either perfectionists, have a need for control or a combination of both…The stress that goes along with working too much has been shown to lead to substance abuse, sleep disorders, anxiety and ultimately to physical problems like heart disease…”

Huh. Just as I thought all along. Work is bad for you. Listen to that, people.

Science has proven that you should quit your job.
