Young adult workaholics are pawns of a corporate culture that pushes work-a-holism.

Post a Problem
Without regard to health and happiness of the people, corporate culture seems to take the position that work comes first, any personal or family activities should take a back seat when work needs to be done. Therefore, we are breeding work-a-holics. Overwork is bad for health, causes sleep deprivation and brings a sense of disconnection with one's heart and soul - sometimes called the spiritual self.
