    Addiction (noun)

    the state of being enslaved to a habit or practice or to something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming, such as narcotics, to such an extent that its cessation causes severe trauma.

    You must know you are wrong. Addiction is not limited to "substances". It also includes behaviours. It's entirely possible that quitting and being a new hire can trigger the dopaminergic system of the LW.
