Maybe not the best forum to ask this, but have you ever worked with someone who could be described as a workaholic?

Yes. Two lads I worked with lived in the place I used to work. Just could not turn the overtime down & worked some mad hours as well as their normal 12 hour shifts. Idea was to pay mortgage off quickly & retire early.

Both dead now dying in their mid 50s. Tragic.

Who'd have thought busting your balls and probably not looking after yourself/getting enough sleep was bad for your health!

She thought she could save the world and the NHS would collapse without her

Used to work with someone who used to do all the overtime she could get but always stayed late even if overtime wasn't available.
I'd frequently login in the morning to find emails she'd sent at 23:00 or later.
Plus she put Teams on her personal phone so on the rare times she actually took her rota day off she still be sending us messages.
She was really good at the job though.

So she should be, the amount of practice she had.
