Despising workaholics!!!

There are many people who put in 14+ hours everyday at office...not just freshers but people with 7+ years of experience too.......
It is such a bad trend.Because of such people, there is pressure on others to put in extra hours too....these workaholics are losing their best years this way...trying 2 climb the ladder anyhow.......
If someone is intelligent enough, he should be able to achieve targets within the allotted office hours.
What is the big deal if you slog 14+ hours everyday at office, and on weekends too and then, you finish your targets/projects ahead of schedule? If you had worked only during office hours and achieved the same,yes, you need to be lauded.

BUT NO,sloggers are lauded at most places and encouraged too.............

Freshers do the slogging routine and then say that once they have a family, they will change.But old habits die hard.
I know such a person from my previous company....someone around 40 years...married with 2 kids.....
very often, he would leave home around 4am,5am,6am and go to office....even if ,it was not required..he just loved coming at such hours and sending mails to seniors and gathering accolades..for these,he leaves his poor wife and kids at such unearthly hours...

Though its their life, it affects others at workplace.And these people have a mad rush to learn any technology that some of their colleagues must be working on...They are just sooo boring..

Such people are very successful career-wise but in my humble opinion, they are not successful in life.
what is life if you can`t spend time with your family, friends or with nature ?

hiiiiiiiiiii
