What rhymes with ergophobe?
er·go·phobe

Ergophobia (also referred to as ergasiophobia or ponophobia) is an abnormal and persistent fear of work (manual labor, non-manual labor, etc.) or fear of finding or losing employment. It is considered a form of social phobia or performance anxiety, as well as being recognised as a derivative of occupational burnout, derived from a persisting sense of pressure or excessive expectations in a workplace. People with ergophobia experience irrational anxiety about the work and the workplace environment. For example, fear of failing at assigned tasks, public speaking at the workplace (both of which are types of performance anxiety), socialising with co-workers (a specification of social phobia), and fear of emotional, psychological and/or physical injuries.Ergophobia is not specifically defined in the DSM-5. However, the criteria for meeting this disorder can be found in the 'Specific Phobia' section of the manual. Specifically, the DSM-V lists seven criteria for diagnosis and additional specifiers depending on the theme of the phobia. Ergophobia meets one specifier as it is caused by a 'Situational' phobic stimulus. Specific phobias are often associated with a range of other mental health disorders: depressive disorder, anxiety disorder, bipolar disorders, substance abuse and personality disorders. There is a potential connection between executive dysfunction and work-related anxiety, as there is a known connection between dysfunction and general anxiety disorder, though there is not distinguishable evidence on which one causes the other.The term ergophobia comes from the Greek "ergon" (work) and "phobos" (fear).
