If You See These Signs, Your Job Is Your Identity

As much as we want to see you for the amazing friend that you are, you’ve officially become Mrs. Assistant. Yes Mrs….because you’re married to your job, and everybody knows it. Now you do, too.

Not sure how “attached” you are to your job?Business Insiderhas some other ways you’ll know:

  • Your family or friends are making comments about seeing you less.- Instead of spending time with the people who care about you most, you give all of your time to something that can never love you back the same way.
  • You feel too busy at work to justify taking a break.- Let’s face it - you’re addicted to work when you get to this point. Everyone’s entitled to a break at some point -maybe even a few.
  • Your productivity is suffering, despite the number of hours you put in.- You’re working 16-hours a day, but you’re still not getting everything checked off your list. What’s up with that picture?
  • You can’t stop thinking about work, even during supposed “downtime.”- This is definitely rock bottom. Downtime should be more along the lines of catching a drink for happy hour or meeting up with some friends.
  • You cancel social plans, often.- There’s no work-life balance! Your life can’t be work, workand more work.Squeeze some friends and family in.
  • The last thing you do before bed has to do with work.- You get into your comfy bed, just to check and see what emails came in - not good!Now you’re going to be dreaming about work, too!
  • You check your work email or Slack notifications obsessively.- This just isn’t healthy. Work will be alright for the night, stay on top of these when you get to the office.
  • You can’t remember the last time you were totally, 100% off on a weekend.- So you have no idea what a real vacation is either, huh?It’s time to change that.We’re going to AC for the weekend, no laptops are work phones allowed!
