sowakah
0, mag-
to work for more than money; to expect to get more than the usual; to get fringe benefits; to expect perks.
In this word, someone works expecting to receive some benefit or goal beyond money from an employer. This may be entered into with an agreement beforehand, such as to work to be put through school. Conversely, it may be with no agreement, the worker hoping to gain some benefit or favor from his boss or position, which the worker will make clear after working awhile. This can lead to misunderstandings and disappointments.
