While I'm a workaholic, I do a pretty good job of seperating things. When I go home.. I'm home. I don't answer any calls from clients or assoicates unless they leave a panicked voicemail.
I think the main reason we identify with our work and money is because that's all we see in media. Status, money and power make the "elite" who they are. People all want to be secure and elite in some sense and this is just a natural progression.
The other main issue is that corporations have lost any responsibility to the human factor and we combat that with making sure we aren't on the cutting block by taking time off or getting sick. I say.. the company will always put money over the person.. so the person should take a step back from his/her loyalty to that company and.. chill the fuck out.
