EN: workaholic
In the Philippines, this is both a badge of honor and a cry for help. It's your BPO friend who's always on OT, your boss who emails you at 2 AM, or maybe even you, powered by three cups of coffee and the fear of deadlines. We call them 'sipag' (hardworking), but when the 'sipag' starts ignoring family, friends, and sleep... that's workaholic territory. The line is thinner than your patience during rush hour.
From English 'work' + '-aholic' (from 'alcoholic').
Used identically to its English meaning. Can be used as a noun ('He is a workaholic') or an adjective ('She has workaholic tendencies').
