If you can configure your MUA to do it without sieve, do that...

Otherwise, you might be able to simulate it by configuring your MUA to
send you a copy of the message like

To: bigboss at yourcompany.com
Bcc: user+worksent at doamin.org

and then have sieve filter on that address.  It's clunky but its the only
way to get sieve to do this (it only filters on mail delivered via
LMTP--not IMAP).
