An employee who constantly seeks out extra shifts, weekend work, and holiday hours to maximize their paycheck. These workers are often first to raise their hand when a project runs late or a night shift needs cover. While management appreciates their availability, coworkers sometimes view them with suspicion for monopolizing the premium-pay shifts.
