Hi Workaholic

Hi Workaholic, You’ve had enough bottles for today’s celebration.

The word Workaholic is a marriage of ‘Work’ and ‘Alcoholic’. An addiction to work. A workaholic is someone with a compulsive need to work excessively, often beyond what is healthy.

March 6 was Employee Appreciation Day, and I found myself thinking about the people who truly move companies forward.

Not just the talented ones, but the relentless ones. The ones willing to push past limits most people would negotiate with.

Alcohol bottles carry a warning: “Drink responsibly.”

But every industry has those who test the limits of the bottle. The ones who stay late. The ones who take the extra project. The ones who quietly carry impossible expectations.

We see you. Or at least, I do.

But here’s a gentle reminder. If you love the taste of this wine called ‘work’ so much, something eventually gives.

Family. Friends. Self-care. Or those quirky aspirations you once had.

Life isn’t always for those who play safe, sometimes a hard season stretches your capacity in ways comfort never will.

But choose your battles wisely, dear employee. Because if “Something must kill a man” make sure you sacrificed yourself on the altar of what truly mattered to you.

Once again, drink responsibly my friend 🩷
