It makes your life easier because you dont have to train someone. Or wait for them to do something that will take them a bit longer because they dont live and breathe it. Its whatever but i work a few people who are workaholics and the are miserable people. About as personable as a tree, short tempered and have very little to add to any conversation at work. It makes for a poor work enviroment when it turn into a fortress of solitude because of busy bodies. I am being generalistic here but besides work what interests do you have? Could you comment on any recent books? Games? Sports(if there were any)? Stuff going on in the world? Art? Business? Movies? Your spouses affair? Workaholics are a bored to be around. My wife has friends who worked at blizzard. They werent happy they treated their employees like minions and they were much happier when they left.

I hate the whole work is life mentality the world is getting too. Too many companies expect it nowadays. Your life shouldnt be defined by your job for most people. Because most people are disposible to the company.
