**An ergomaniac or workaholic is a person who is addicted to work.

The term does not always imply that the person actually enjoys their work; it can imply that they simply feel compelled to do it. There is no generally accepted medical definition of such a condition, although some forms of stress, obsessive-compulsive personality disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder can be work-related.
Workaholism is not the same as working hard. Despite logging in an extraordinary amount of hours and sacrificing their health and loved ones for their jobs, workaholics are frequently ineffective employees.

So how many of you are workaholics or related to someone who is and how do you deal with such people !!! Personally , I’ve got friends who are die hard ergomaniacs and it annoys the hell out of me…I believe in the adage All work and no play makes Jafri a Dull Boy ! **
