it's a fine answer and it's the correct answer. Obsessive behavior is not easily identifiable when everyone around you is leading an unbalanced life. I'm sure in certain circles you could find people who agree both of us.
The difference is the the psychologists and the philosophers agree with me over the long term. Being work obsessed at age 40+ when you have other aspects of life worth exploring is simply mental illness.
Did you ever even consider that such people have other things to do?
It seems like you are addressing a completely different point, and creating a false dichotomy.
It makes sense that people dont want to work with others that try to do as shitty of a job as possible without being fired, fucking over whomever and whatever happens to be collateral damage.
Being an obsessive company man is not the only alternative, and certainly not what they were suggesting. Im not sure why you thought it was being advocated for.
