Workaholics say 'I don't want a vacation!'

Kenya McCullum

Although many workers say that they need a vacation this year more than ever, workaholics are just fine slaving away for hours in the office as the summertime passes them by.

In some cases, the reluctance to take a vacation has nothing to do with being a workaholic at all—the economy has made some workers fear that any time away from their jobs may result in the loss of their jobs. Other workers, however, are just obsessed with their jobs.

But how do you know that you’re a workaholic?

Workaholics Anonymous says that some signs that you may be a workaholic include if you take work to bed with you, if your loved ones no longer expect you to show up on time when you make plans with them, and if you get irritated if someone has the audacity to ask you not to work so much. Thanks to this compulsion to work all of the time, it’s not uncommon for workaholics to have problems in their interpersonal relationships.

What some workaholics fail to realize, however, is that taking a vacation actually makes them more effective in their jobs. It’s not too difficult to get burned out in the workplace nowadays, but taking a few days off can recharge even the staunchest workaholics’ batteries and clear their minds so that they can perform at their best when they return to the office.
