Performance Punishment 

Due to a high level of motivation and repeat successes you are selected by your superiors to do more work than your peers because you do your job and good at it. This frequently entails extra hours, multitasking, et cetera. The punishment is that you get to watch the underperformer, who is not doing their job, get rewarded via time off, free time, leave work on time and so on. This is common in the military, other government jobs, or large corporations where, due to bureaucracy, it is difficult to get rid of a bad employee.
Sean isn't a workaholic or a brown nose. Since his coworker Steve does nothing all day long, Sean's performance punishment is that he always has to stay late and take on extra projects to make up for Steve.

Verb, used to describe an individual that can't help by make bad jokes (usually a PUN).
Usually these PUNs are meant to be dumb, and quite often deliberately lame. A Punster favors bad play on word jokes but is not limited to play on word jokes. Lame humor (see anti joke and dad joke) would also fit the character of a Punster.

Sucker for punishment

Someone who just can't get enough.
An incredibly high threshold for either or both physical and emotional pain, coupled with great stubborness (or determination, as they call it) makes someone a sucker for punishment.

A sucker for punishment Is strongly self reliant and independant and take it apon themselves, and no-one else to solve their problems. Their relentless determination and unbreakable spirit means they never back down, never give up, they are absolutely determined to keep going despite what pain it may be causing them, and what obstacles stand in their way. The person is desperate to get things done by themselves, they usually reject help until they literally can't carry on anymore.

To others their efforts may not seem worth it, but for them the victory alone is worth it,never mind the prize, they gain great satisfaction from achieving their goals but failure from resorting to someone elses' help.

Their relentless determination is usually a good a thing, such people rarely fail, but is also often a bad thing.
If they ever can't succeed for whatever reason, they will just try and try and try and try until their apparently never-ending strength has been spent, this is very painful and exhausting to both them and their friends who they commonly reject the aid of.
1:"Damn, that guy's fell off like hundred times, he's bleeding and everything!"
2:"Such a sucker for punishment, when will he learn?"
