Gambling and Reputation

[Peanutswar]

I have no idea how the company/school do regular background check to their staff related to gambling activity. From my perspective, gambling is something personal. It should have nothing to do with their job. Company may do something if their staff gambling activity affect their job, but the staffs do nothing wrong with their job, I think the company cant do anything unless there is a prior terms/rules related to gambling that is applied to their staffs. However I have to agree that we should care about our own reputation but if it is related to gambling, I do not care what people say about me because I am a gambler.

Yes the Company or institution should never interfere with the personal matters of anyone. But the person who personally do gambling in his life so he/she should never impact his/her addiction to anyone. Means he/she should never promote any web or any casino to members of company or institution. He/she should avoid from these kind of activities.

I agree. You'll never know the impact of gambling to other people if you influence them. If you're playing for fun and with discipline, we cant be certain that others will do the same. Thus keeping it to ourselves are much better. As long as gambling doesnt affect your personal life, work performance and the company itself, then you can gamble without minding other people's judgement. There's no need to explain if you're not a bad influence.

Actually, there's no background checking for them upon hiring to their gambling history but if the employee has a different approach during the work and it really affects the performance and make unnecessary transactions to their account that's the time they will get checked and get confront to their head about their previous issues. Still personal issues might affect the work and emotional status of the person due to excessive playing of gambling which is not an ideal thing to do.

You're a professional like a lawyer or a teacher in a respected university, will it harm your reputation if people around you or your students discover that you are into gambling, you're not really a compulsive gambler but gamble for entertainment, how will you explain this to people around you or will you explain to protect your reputation or just ignore them.

Gambling is always viewed negatively by most people, especially if we become a public figure or already have a good position, of course people will judge badly about our gambling habits.  there is no other reason if they urgently ask why get involved in gambling, I can only say gambling is just for entertainment and seek thrill of tension by trying luck.

There will not be any amount of explanation to do to people to convince them that you are not part of gambling people when they see you in the act. For the professionals  like the lawyers or doctors too people will not believe they will gamble if they have seen them in it. The society see the people who gamble as different people or not focus people so the way they have seen others who gamble is the same with people as the lawyers or doctor or the other professionals. They will lose the reputation for that class or the level also prestige.

Most company do a background check but all they do is just check the criminal records of a person and educational attainment.  Skill and knowledge is assessed via interview and exams.  I don't see any company checking the habit of a person.  They might ask it on the interview but they do not dig in after that.  After all most company depends on the performance of the person and not on how he spend his free time.

This is not so hard in developed countries but where databases don't exist, companies do find it hard to follow these measures that is why these days, they request for a guarantor before offering any job, the person has to be well known, well respected and have a reputation to protect.

I just think being an employer is a phase that is difficult for me, why go into my privacy because I gamble, I know its the company finances they are trying to protect but as long my resume or CV states my previous work and my past experiences, the company should be bold enough to trust me as a worker, the least I wouldn't find offensive is to call or ask where I have work before, they can ask if I compromise their money or not.

your answer is good but it will make them want to imitate what you do if you seem to enjoy it. people who are role models (such as teachers or officials) must be able to maintain their reputation, lest for entertainment reasons other people try to do it (gambling) for the same reason

then it is better to avoid it (gambling) from the start than to make various excuses (when caught playing gambling) later on

I think in the military, it's a big punishment to see their colleagues entering the gambling premises.

Now this does not applies to the military alone, even the clergy must not be seen in such mess ne many other professional titles or positions, if you're a person of honour and integrity that know the best and modest way of hkw you're exoected to live and behave, then you must take caution to been seing in certain places like in the casinos playing gamble, infact it must not be identified with you playing it on the comfort of your home because it is totally against what you stand to represent, if an individual witha good and responsible sense that knows what's right from wrong then one does not need to be told where and when to gamble and not to do so.

[gantez]

if an individual witha good and responsible sense that knows what's right from wrong then one does not need to be told where and when to gamble and not to do so.

No I don't think that gambling can be in consideration as what is wrong or right because there is difference between morality and social acceptance. To gamble is what is seen in morals as wrong but in social acceptance it can be seen as choice so those high and mighty people are measure with morality and the low class people are seen in social acceptability of the society. It is a choice to gamble if the government didn't ban of it but conscience tie with morality make the clergy, professionals to gamble in secret

[Viscore]

I think people who have dignity or a college degree will gamble in an isolated place in the sense that they will look at their surroundings before they gamble. but like everyone else they sometimes neglect reputation in order to be able to get entertainment in their spare time and this tends not to be a big problem for someone who has a good reputation in the community. I have met many people like this, even among them there are those who like to chat with their students at the same time they are playing gambling.

Gone are the days where gambling is said to cause damage to your reputation. Almost everyone now is already engaged in gambling, some are just good enough to secretly gamble on their own. Especially that online gambling is now more popular, then we can do gambling secretly without the awareness of other people. So for me, gambling won’t be a big issue at all even if you own the highest position in a university, provided that you never let your students see you are in gambling.

We have different views depending on which country we live in and the influence of aspects of social life, such as your definition above that if the country is liberal then people don't care about other people's lives and vice versa if in an illegal country gambling activities will give a negative reputation because of inappropriate activities as a teacher. So I agree that we should maintain our privacy and do not need to expose our gambling activities to anyone because online gambling no one knows that we often play gambling in private room.

True, it all goes down to the tradition and nature of the country.  Religious country frown on the gambling activities so anyone who is involved on gambling will be looked down as if they have committed serious crimes, but for the country that is more open to everything will just ignore anyone who is engaged in gambling activity until these gamblers become a problem.  But for personal point of view, I don't care about how my surrounding look at gamblers.  I have my own life and I am not living to please them.  As long as I don't do anything wrong, they are entitled to what they are thinking and I have all right to do what I can do.  So I still stand on the idea that professionals can do whatever they wanted to do as long as they don't do anything that is harmful to their neighborhood.

Most countries have linen law on gambling and in most countries, gambling is respected and played that influential people in society, but in some other places due with poverty and crime have made gambling lost its glory and have been seen in a bad light.
But aside from that, gambling depends on individual coordination and how he/she carries himself along the line.

our environment will influence our self to be addicted in gambling or not , no matter in our country its legal and even government takes taxes from it. in some place alot different sight about people that gambling ,they look it as bad habbit and maybe need to avoid in order to safe from bad impact and reputation. moreover if its done by influencers, they will have really ugly opinion.

That right one of the major contributor to taxes is the gambling casinos because they have a large amount of earnings for every player make a game them, and also it is the responsible of the player if they got addicted because the first place casino just want to bring the entertainment to them and of course because of the influence of other people some of us would like to try playing gambling and because they losses a lot they want to get back those losses by another playing of gambling that's makes another debt to them and wasted even they savings it is better if they still consciously to the things and action they do.

As long as everything is legal it's not a big deal in my opinion. I wouldn't have thought differently about my teachers if they were regular gamblers, it rather makes them see more normal. The  only teacher I know that was a gambler was my math teacher in high school. He liked to use gambling examples during our classes. He also had some funny stories to tell from his casino days. During school trips we went to some bars together in our final year and we played some slots together. It was a great experience and he was my favourite teacher. So knowning that he gambles made him actually more likeable. I don't think that his colleagues looked differently at him only because he gambled. Probably more teacher also gambled and we just didn't know about it.

I don't think the stigma has vanished yet for those people who are known to gamble. There is still some sort of discrimination in some places the moment they get to know that you are a gambler. In our country, the words gambling, gambler, and betting still have a negative connotation which makes it awkward if your name happen to be dragged by gambling.

Indeed, the majority is now engaged in different kinds of gambling. May it be in physical casinos, online website, or sports betting. Other people prefer to hide their identities despite gambling being considered normal nowadays in some places. I believe this is because of confidentiality purposes related to reputation concerns and avoiding public scrutiny. While there are people who don't give a damn if they are seen or known gambling because they don't care about their reputation and what other people would say. I guess it's just really a matter of what suits you best and what will let your mind be at peace.

One thing we want to distinguish is that teachers impart knowledge to people. Guides people to the right path. But we forget that he is also human. He may also have various desires and aspirations. If the teacher can be more close with the students I think it is more beneficial for the students. When a student can become close to a teacher, he can gain the most knowledge from that teacher. Gambling here is not a problem if we don't see it only as negatively.

In my city, an environment that is famous for its gambling is an area that the police often visit just to carry out raids. The sad thing is that most of the gambling players caught from there are drug users and also people who have a low economy. your reputation will be destroyed if you are familiar with an environment full of gambling, control yourself to only play gambling with complete control over yourself, and don't be fooled by invitations from outside that come from a bad environment.

drug and gambling in some place was unseparated thing ,alot of gamblers also trapped using drag and even hard addicted. i am also heard some bad police take money from gambling traditional house to secure it when suddenly there is official ambush so they get early information. if we was famous person , better avoid gambling to make there is nothing negative news about us . as good person , always take care with our friend and circle , make sure they will trap us in negative activity.

t depends on how he thinks the surrounding environment will react if he becomes known as a gambler, given his status in the community. of course, if you are a teacher, as much as possible, you need to be a good role model to your students. so if you are into gambling, better keep it to yourself because students will have different take when they learn that their teacher or professor is into gambling. also, the same when you are in the accounting department, definitely, you would always be on the lookout if they know your gambling habits. even if we say, you only gamble your own money. some people won't discard the thought that you may possibly misappropriate some funds at any moment. at the end of the day, it is indeed up to you how you handle things. and if you are maintaining your image, better take care of your gambling business discretely.

In our culture people care about other people more than how and what they want to do.
and gambling is illegal and considered as a sin - so if anyone is found gambling they feel disrespected.

Gambling never been an illegal something in my country it is the best on your own country because I know that starts from The origin gambling has been into existence at the many people has been using gambling for entertainment industry not ask if they want to use it for making money so that is why some people see gambling as a sin because they believe that gambling bring a lot of corruption it will the society why can't believe is like what entertain people around environment

Each places or country does have different perceptions and laws towards gambling which decisions and laws will really vary on certain point.Speaking about reputation then it wont really be that much of an issue.

No one does have the rights if you would make yourself get involved with gambling.Its not their money that had been spent, there are really just people who are that keen or mindful about on what other peoples

views and perception towards them.Frankly speaking where gambling do always give out that negative or bad impression towards those people who are get involved with it.
