Who among you here is gambling at work?

[Blitzboy]

`

You are right that gambling at work will affect many things, including professionalism as worker and worse, can lose job, but this will only happen to those who have failed to manage their time well.
If he can manage his time very well and can act responsibly then he will never have any problems even if he gambles at work, playing one slot game session does not take more than 30 minutes and the average working break is 1 hour.
By using 30 minutes of rest time to play, I think that is more than enough and they will not get into any problems, including being fired from gambling, the legal regulations regarding gambling also have big influence on this.
If the country they live in prohibits gambling then maybe gambling at work could cause problems but if they live in country where gambling is legal then it not big deal if they use some of their time off work to play just few rounds.
But every gambler has their own way of thinking, because there are those who gamble outside the home because they don't want family members to know that they are gambler, there are also those who always gamble at home when they don't have work or on holidays.
We can never equate one gambler with another gambler.

Even if gambling is permitted and the person is good at time management, work hours are for work. The claim that a 30-minute slot game break is harmless ignores the subtle effects on work ethic and professional boundaries.

Gambling at work, especially during breaks, can blur personal and professional boundaries. This may gradually erode work-focused thinking, impacting productivity and decision-making. Gambling is unexpected and emotional. How can one prevent these feelings from affecting their work?

Gambling may be relaxing when done healthily. Thus, one should indulge in a controlled setting away from work. Setting limits promotes responsible gaming. Work and leisure, especially gambling, must not overlap for professional ethics and personal well-being.

That's right, if we already have a good and clear job, then we should respect or look after it well, and as much as possible we should do the best for the job we already have so that it produces something good too, therefore never Look for trouble if you don't want to lose the job you already have. Even though sometimes you get bored with the work you are doing, you don't have to look for problems, it's better to look for good things so as not to cause problems that trigger job dismissal.

In my opinion, no matter how complicated it is, if it is our responsibility, of course we have to do it, because it is our obligation, so even though work or other things are complicated to do, if it is our responsibility, what can we do, just do it. Unless you really don't want to do it, then there is only one choice, namely to stop doing it and stop being responsible. but if it's like that, in my opinion, it's not a good thing, because it's something that is our responsibility, so we have to do it well, even if a problem occurs, the risks that must be faced must also be overcome, especially by taking action to gamble during working hours, of course. The risks that will occur must be faced and cannot be avoided.

Well in my case it may be something different, for example when a company tells me to automate certain processes, and to make some automation and control plans is different, because if I have to work in the company I go and do it so that things can happen. in the best way and being in the company with the machines or motors to be able to start them or make a plan because I can't put it aside and start doing things in the car, because that would first look bad, second they won't contact me again , then that is something that goes very against what I have as values, because when I work for a company all my loyalty is there and I cannot disappoint them because otherwise, where would my ethics be, and although it sounds bad, that is a failure of professional ethics and it is very well regarded, of course it is my criterion, perhaps I am very conservative, but for me all work is sacred, because for something you studied and for something you spent 5 years at a university, so that in the field of work things are done very well.

In another order of things, I am also Specialist in Cisco Networks, so sometimes I have to do some optical fiber installations and sometimes I have to go to areas where it basically takes 2 or 3 hours to get to the site, and there it is You can play, as long as my phones have security, then these types of things are what I say, which can be done as long as I have the availability to do it without lack of respect, however when I get to the site I can't be thinking about Doing certain things and leaving everything aside so that they can generate other types of Responses , that is, I will not be Installing fiber or I will not be Programming a Router with ONT , and playing at the Same time, because obviously the one who is wrong is me , or I will not be supervising the networks doing this type of activity, it is something that does not suit me, just like when an Expert Report is done.

Even though there is work that may involve traveling to do it and where there is an opportunity to do things or there is free time to be able to do many things, you shouldn't gamble, because in my opinion, if you are still at work or in a work environment, even if you have free time, it is better used as best as possible, such as discussing work or discussing opportunities for improving job performance not by gambling,  because as far as I know gambling can make them focus on each round,  and make them ignore many other things.

also with undesirable risks such as reduced performance where focus will be diverted due to gambling as well as the risk of possible future problems if you gamble at the place or time or work environment,  of course the consequence may be being fired from the job you already have.  So I think we have to consider everything carefully, because we don't want to lose our job because of gambling.

That's true, I admit that, the work we do sometimes feels boring, doesn't it, and makes us want to do other things that might bring excitement, but if we escape from gambling, that's not a good thing, because I myself know that gambling can make we lose control, it can also make us not care about things around us, I mean it can make us only focus on gambling. Sometimes I find a friend who gambles when he is called, don't even look to answer, sometimes it's difficult, This is what made me realize that gambling can make us too focused to the point of ignoring many things around us.

sacrificing work just for gambling? is anyone that stupid? In my opinion, if there are people like that, it's possible that their common sense has disappeared, because they are willing to give up diamonds just for pebbles. You are right, if you really want to gamble, it is not recommended during working hours, because it can have an impact on our own performance and can also cause problems later.

I was an employee before but never experienced gambling while I was at work. But I have a colleague at work who often plays gambling online, and that is poker, and sometimes he tells me that after work he goes to the casino, where he often loses and the money is low. amount of $100.

But he has a strong will to play while at work because he is my superior on duty, so it is okay for him to do that because no one knows, and he knows that no one will report to him in the main office.

maybe for now he will still be safe because it is not yet the time for other people to know about his gambling activities during his work time, but it would be good for you as his friend to give him advice not to be careless with his actions which could trigger problems at his job, because even though he is your boss That doesn't mean he can act as he pleases, unless he is the boss who owns his company it probably won't be a problem because if he is the boss he has the power.

In my opinion, even if he gambles after work and spends a lot of money, of course it is detrimental to him, so in my opinion it would be better if you as his friend don't do any harm in giving him better directions, because if every day he gambles and always spends a large amount of money. It is possible that he will experience problems with his finances which could spread to his own mental health.

I think you should remind your colleagues not to gamble while working, even though the company you work for does not implement regulations to prohibit gambling in the work environment, every employee should understand to avoid actions that involve neglecting work or losing focus on your work.

However, I am surprised that your friend often experiences losing bets every day but he still continues gambling without remembering that the salary he earns is just to cover gambling losses, but the impact of losing gambling can have an effect on high anger and emotional control that is difficult to control, this psychological condition should be it is not appropriate when you are working and you can scold anyone when you lose from gambling and experience problems from your work.

Whenever it is something related to work, it must be respected, that is, we are people who at any given moment cannot make a Difference in the case that some things are done, for example, as I was saying, in field work, sometimes you have so many hours free Traveling , you can take Advantage of Playing for a while if you need to play so much, which I don't see as necessary , because I usually play in a casino from the comfort of my home, but there are people who take advantage of every interval of time to do things better and generate more profits with the casinos, well at least that's what they say, but I consider that things are different at the moment when they start doing something, for example I am a person who will always do what is necessary to play and I won, that's what I need my time for, I'm not going to play in the casino while I'm working, that's because it would be very bad, as I say it's unethical, and if they Find out it can get even worse.

When I see that there are things I can do in the casino, I do them with my free time and just concentrating on that. I don't know how they see it in other Countries , but if they pay you 10 or 21 hours to do a job, you should do it without so much problem because things are like that in jobs, the best is always generated to do, but if there is a person who does not like anything other than having his work interrupted for whatever reason, I think he will not do his job well nor will he play well, So that doesn't make sense to me, I think the obvious answer is not to play within the workplace those who assume a different Position, it is Already Common to them , and if they throw them out it is because they asked for it themselves, because they are irresponsible, but I have It has always been known that if you are working in a Company , you have to do your Best and Present Everything you know and look for solutions, not cause problems, because in part that becomes a problem for the company over time.

Some are like that on having some concern but there are ones who do really love on giving out some complaints basing up on what you do, this is why you should really be careful
on the decisions that you are making but in general sense on which its never been that good on playing whether gambling or those typical mobile games while at work. You arent going to office
or field just for you to play and you arent getting paid just for you to have that kind of enjoyment. Just like the rest been saying that its never been that worth on making yourself
or putting  your work at at risks because once those complaints been raised then youre fucked up. You would really be starting to have regrets on the time that you would
be losing your job. LOL!

There are always effects to what one involves themselves with in life and gambling has such impact on the life of gamblers that, it is reserved for only matured persons and ones with a high level of discipline or self consciousness.

Unfortunately, with no proper means to measure and set aside and the urge to gamble with the hopes of big wins, one tends to ignore ethical rules to gambling.

I don’t doubt the OP when he states that, it does affect your performance at work, of course it would. You work to earn and when or most of the earned money especially, those that constitute what you can’t afford to lose is poured into gambling, you become unstable as you hope to make amends.
To revisit and find means to meet up with your budget, this leaves you troubled at work and a troubled mind can’t come up with good ideas.

There is time for everything, effective time management yields success. Gambling is more of a mental inclusive activity than a mere physical one. When you gamble, you kind of alter your mind from its immediate focus parameters and reset it to a relaxed form, therefore it should not be permitted in the place of work. no matter how disciplined you may think that you are, gambling has a different way of Un disciplining even the disciplinarian himself and reducing the person to a sorry addict.

Viewing it form another angle, if you're an emotional person, even if you just gamble with spare funds at work, the effects of losses have a higher tendency of reflecting in your work for the rest of the day. It's very bad to mix fun and professionalism and should be highly avoided at all costs before it starts limiting your attention at work and result to overall poor productivity from the person involved.

I know that it depends a lot from kind of work, but I dont admire working at work. Even if a person is good at multitasking, employer did not hire employee for gambling. If a person has free time to gamble at work, that means that person hasnt done his tasks fully. Even if I have a free time at work, I would rather help my collegue, than gamble at work.

Gambling at work in my opinion, is not a sign of one that’s serious in his duties. The undeniable fact that you’re being paid for the hours you’re at work should be enough to keep aside hobbies and leisure activities and be focused on the task you’re employed and being paid for. There’s a time and a place for everything and the workplace is no place for gambling. Except of course, you work in a casino Lol.
It would pay much more to divert your focus on how to be innovative to be more productive at work. That way, you’ll earn more money to comfortably fund your lifestyle.

Even if we know that it is not possible for anyone to remain concentrated on their job for every hour they are being paid, there is a big difference between taking a coffee break and using some of your working hours to gamble.

The former is completely acceptable, and some office jobs may even encourage it as it helps the employees to know each other and work better as a team, but gambling at your workplace is just a big mistake and once anyone finds out what that person is doing it would not surprise me if they got fired.

I used to gamble at work in my free time. I made sure that I'd be doing it when I had nothing to do and it didn't affect my efficiency at work in anyway. So, you could gamble at work but how moral the activity is a matter of discussion.
Now I don't gamble at work mostly because I'm shifted to a busier office and have no time to spare. Adding to that there's no more privacy like at my older office as four of us share the two computers at our desk.

[wallet4bitcoin]

I'd like to share my experience with you all. Even though I'm not currently employed, I went through a phase of gambling while I was working in the past, and the outcome wasn't positive. It affected my job performance because, as you may know, when you lose, you tend to dwell on your losses and constantly think about strategies to win. When we talk about work, it usually means we're not particularly wealthy, and imagine what happens when we gamble money we can't afford to lose, especially when we're not earning much.

Let me tell you, the feeling is far from pleasant. It leads to a decline in your work performance, which can have significant consequences since that's your primary source of income. It might be manageable if you're winning, but the harsh reality is often quite the opposite. Even when we do win, we tend to spend most of our winnings, so we don't treat it as business money. This leaves us in a precarious situation when we lose because the money we initially budgeted for our families gets diverted to cover unexpected gambling-related expenses.

I'd like to hear from those of you who have experienced this or are still dealing with it. Please share your testimonies.

Gambling at work is just a NO NO for me. The flavor it gives isn't one that is needed at the place of work. Imagine having to do loads of work and then you engage in gambling and lose the money, you do know that the money does not fall within the spare money you have and it was actually meant for something, once it is lost, it messes with your mind and a psychological imbalance sets in which further turns you into a non productive worker for a few minutes or hours, depending on how good you are at snapping out of it, and that is translated to lost time or non productive time. It is not and never will be a good experience.

you can do whatever you wanted as long as you are at break but once you sit on your chair then you are being paid already every single second so you have no right to play or gamble ,
this is the attitude a good employee must have and not an abuser , if you have nothing to do at work then be productive , find something that you will be useful.

that's what employees have to do. they must work with high integrity. however, you will probably see one or two of your colleagues in the office gambling or playing games during work time. it might be because the work is a little loose. but that's not a reason to gamble during work time. because there are work breaks that can be taken or weekends when there are holidays. they must divide their time well.

I also gambled for a while when i working professionally but at that moment i lost many things. It was no big deal that I lost bets most of the time. But there is a huge loss in my working performance. When I work, I think that if I get some extra money from gambling besides work, that money will support me a lot but when I go to work with bets, I see again and again what my gambling position is and at one point when my bets are on gambling. I lose my enthusiasm when things go bad position. At that time there were many mistakes in my work which I realised. So, in my opinion a gambler must set a specific time for betting. Gambling should not be done in official time that affects gambling and personal life.

It is not always good to combine your work with gambling because of the emotions involved in it.Because your mental ability will be affected when you have lose a game,it isn't always adviceable to combine the two.Those who have combined it before will say it more better,but all I know about it is that one's mental health is very important when it has to deal with gambling,this is because in most of the cases,people lose rather than win,which makes it more tough and complicated.It is always very good to set a time difference between when gambling will come into play,and when you have to be serious with your work,because that is what provides money.

They will always be affected because there is not 100% concentration and that is already a bad thing, we as players need total concentration to be able to play our game well, that is something that we must be clear about, at the moment that we are at work and we want some extra money, I think the last thing you should consider is playing while you are there, unless you sacrifice lunch time to do it and that is something not viable, because we need to eat to have energy, I'm talking about the time lunch because our hours at work are sacred and should not be experienced doing anything other than working, so this is what I think can be done, but I would still say something, in the casino you can make some money , but risking a lot of money, I think it is a reckless activity because of what it involves doing, nothing like doing it from home and with money willing to lose, and it is not necessary to take money and some money.

Well, when we think about the idea that we should go beyond this, it is something that we should not because we remember that mentally our work is in our mind, and if we try to invent things within the work and considering that we are going to neglect Some of the concentration that we should have is not recommended, because we are not going to do anything well, neither the work nor the play, and that can become first of all jeopardizing the work in a childish way, because we are playing and otherwise we would be risking that money to be lost more easily, then it is something that is not recommended.

Mentaklenmte the person will not be 100% capable of doing the job, it is something that must always be considered, but well the people are the ones who make the decisions and can make the difference if they want to lead that type of life to achieve things as they are. and as they are, it is something that can be quite risky.

It's wonderful that this forum allows us to get to know one another and exchange ideas so that we may support and give advice to each other. Well, it's important to strike a balance between our personal and professional obligations in the hectic world of today. Gambling or playing games while at work can be distracting and have a bad effect on how well we do our jobs.
 
When it comes to work, we actually need to be more deeply focused and pay attention to the task at hand in order to do it before the deadline. It's true, as Dimitri94 said, that gambling involves mental and emotional engagement. If we engage in it while working, this might generate an imbalance, tension, fatigue, or even lower productivity, as all of these emotions will undoubtedly appear when we lose. Although gambling is not always a terrible thing, it is important to keep in mind that we should keep our gaming and work hours apart in order to keep our focus, encourage a healthy work-life balance, and avoid any possible financial consequences, which we may regret in the end.

[asyakashi]

I won't focus on that. How can you do two different things in the same place? Doesn't that interfere with your offline work? I'm sure some jobs definitely prohibit us from playing on cellphones or laptops while working unless our work is related to that. but still, if caught there are always sanctions. Is it safe for you to work while gambling? I didn't do it because I couldn't focus. I like to get things done one day at a time.

Indeed, we will not be able to focus on doing our work and playing gambling. It will only interfere with our offline work so that our performance at work will be disrupted later. We must understand our position in the office or company and refrain from using work time to do things that have nothing to do with our work. In the future, if someone sees us gambling, we will get into trouble that we shouldn't have, so we should work well and only gamble when we're not at the office or company. It will prevent us from losing focus at work so that we will not experience any problems. After all, we can gamble whenever we want but not at work because it can affect everyone, not just us.

[Blowon]

It's safe if our boss doesn't pay too much attention, especially if we have our own special room to work in the office. This is very helpful, especially if there is little work that day, there will be plenty of time to pay attention to gambling. I don't do it often but at least I've tried it. but I'm not very brave. I might be fired if I'm caught using work hours to gamble. this is not my company I have to be responsible for my working time.
