Workaholics Day
July 5 · Level 2 · #1945 of 2238
Workaholics Day is an informal occasion for people who find it hard to switch off from work. Its office humor comes with a useful question: when the task list keeps growing, where does time away from it fit?
How it is celebrated: people share jokes about overtime, give perpetually busy colleagues a friendly nudge and discuss after-hours work habits. There is no fixed ritual; finishing on time or catching up with friends fits the spirit.
The word workaholic was modeled on alcoholic. Its construction points to compulsion, rather than simply enjoying a job or working enthusiastically.
