Yes this is actually the problem. In theory, once you have enough you just stop working and enjoy leisure for the rest of your life. This is why Keynes predicted a 15 hour work week, people are so obscenely wealthy they don't care anymore.
In practice, becoming wealthy is alost a social darwinist selection process where you need an extreme adaptation to your environment to end up at the top, anything less and you end up in the upper middle class at best. Once you have structured your entire life around becoming wealthy it is hard to quit.
This is problematic because human wants and needs aren't actually infinite. One workaholic can do the work of four people, making three out of four people redundant, but the workaholic would never give up the wealth he obtained this way, so three people end up unemployed instead of everyone working 10 hours a week. Because of this all or nothing mentality, everyone feels compelled to outdo the workaholic just to stay in their job, not because they actually need all of the money.
The absurd part though is that the workaholic blames others for not doing their share, while he himself insists on doing everything, in fact, he absolutely despises anyone taking his workload off his shoulders. Somehow charity i.e. doing others work for them turned into a one sided relationship where the recipient is now the sinner through no fault of his own. People start hating each other for no reason.
