Overworking can be contagious. Here are 3 tips for keeping up with a workaholic colleague without burning out, according to a careers expert.
. This anxiety could be leading more workers to overwork, and the phenomenon is contagious, Melody Wilding, an executive coach and author, told Insider. However, it's also important to distinguish a co-worker who is a hard-working top performer from a workaholic. According to Wilding,is not someone who is working hard for the enjoyment of the work or for results, but"someone who is addicted to work and can't detach themselves.
While it's easy to think the workaholic is purposely trying to show you up, this is unlikely to be the case, she said. Wilding said trying to understand the reasons for a person's behavior can help employees have more empathy and not be upset by a coworker's behavior.Trying to outwork the workaholic is not productive, Wilding said. Working more doesn't always lead to better work, the"Overworking can create a lot more work for everyone else that's unnecessary," she said."Work may have to be redone because the workaholic is not focused on results, efficiency, and performance.
"Setting these expectations is really important with the workaholic because it's about not feeling pressure to keep up," she said."Don't cave to peer pressure just because this person is in every meeting."Attempting to keep up with a workaholic is a losing battle, Wilding said.
