Question by Spaced Frehley: how do i convince my boss that his “work-a-holism” is similar to my “alcoholism”?
Our big difference is: I don’t drink and have not in over 8 years.

His “workaholic” issue will cause him to lose his wife, his wife will take his child, he will and has already lost friends as he has none. His employees are jumping ship. His business is sinking because his employees are leaving.

He is so focused on business, like an alcoholic is to alcohol, that he disregards all those around him who don’t see it his way. An alcoholic will do the same and only seek out other heavy drinkers!

I recognize my illness ( alcoholism ) and I treat it.
my boss doesn’t and may never will.

can i do anything?
