Some people think they will succeed by working 70 or more hours a week. Among those there are “grinders” who brag about their work ethic, while there are others who complain–yet keep that rigorous schedule going voluntarily.
Somehow workaholics remind me of a country song lyric:
“Work your fingers to the bone, and what do you get?”
“Bony fingers”

Lunch and Conversation with Dawn Echols
SLEEP DEPRIVATION
Closely aligned to the workaholics pattern are business leaders who get very little sleep at night, believing that they must start work as early as possible and keep working late into the evening.
NO VACATIONS
Related to thIS topic are individuals who don’t take vacations, even though their employer allows time away. You can only guess how horrified this group would be if someone suggested they take a sabbatical–several weeks or even two or three months away from work.
RISKS WORKAHOLICS FACE
Although an excessive work ethic might be admirable as a sign of commitment, people who never take time for themselves run the risk of damaging their mental and physical health, and possibly reducing their professional impact.
