Who among you here is gambling at work?

[Dewi Aries]

I know some people who gamble while they are at work online; others manage to do well at the same time as their work, but others don't because I just found out that they no longer have a job, and when I asked the reason, they said they were late. He is his superior who plays gambling online during his work hours.

In that regard, I told my friend that he is also guilty and had a reason. I hope that will be a lesson for him because he also said that he should only play online casinos at home. Gambling should be placed in the right place and not be affected by gambling, especially if it helps financially.

I don't think that it is possible for someone to perform well at their job while also gambling. This is because their productivity will inevitably suffer, as their focus and time will be split between work and gambling. Additionally, gambling can have negative effects on one's emotions, which can further impact their ability to concentrate on work tasks.

Of course, because it is difficult to produce something maximum if one divides his attention and focus on other things at the same time such as working while gambling, as you said and it is true that this behavior can interfere and reduce one's productivity at work which ultimately makes their work disrupted and neglected, in such a situation I am sure that their main focus is only on gambling because they have previously thought and decided to gamble in the middle of working hours and that means their focus is more likely to be on gambling.

On the other hand there are a lot of negative impacts that they will experience, first it is clear that it is very possible for them to end the session with a loss and if they are one of the irresponsible gamblers then obviously they will not be able to fully accept the fact of defeat which in turn makes themselves experience emotions that can reduce the mood or enthusiasm to continue working, And another impact that I think can be more detrimental is that there is a possibility for them to lose their job if at that time their boss finds out that one of their employees is gambling during working hours, and of course it is very likely that they will eventually be fired for doing other things during working hours and also after all gambling is a negative activity in the perspective of society in general.

To be honest, many people gamble at work, with the ease of today technology, gambling can be done anywhere and at any time. What is emphasized here is the money spent and the risks involved, the final impact of gambling continuously without paying attention to time and place is very large. Spending most of your main income on gambling is a fatal mistake, but gambling addiction is very difficult to limit and manage, especially if the environment around us is very supportive of doing it continuously.

I personally have not reached the stage of diverting my main income to continue gambling, but several friends have experienced experiences similar to what you are experiencing. Self awareness is the key and cure for gambling addiction, advice sounds like nonsense to gamblers, especially if they have the ambition to recover the money they lost due to losing. If the purpose of gambling is to have fun, why sacrifice the rights of important people such as family. There are many hobbies that can immediately bring joy, why not try one of them.

You would really be definitely be less efficient if you do this, this is why it would really be that wise that you should really be separating gambling thing and working on which both things shouldnt collide on a similar schedule.Hence, you would really be putting up yourself on such great trouble on the time that you would really be getting caught by your supervisor/manager/owner on the time that you do play gambling.
If you are really just that mainly relying with your job salary pay to live then you are putting your life into trouble and this isnt something worth i should say for someone to do so.
People would really be just having those kind of regrets of their actions on the time that they would suffer those consequences.

There's a right time for everything and this is why you should really be thinking up responsible on what are the things that shouldnt be done on a specific period of time.
There's time for everything and dont risks up something on which that you cant afford to lose specially your job.

That's probably one of the worst bad habits.  For one you can't likely perform well at work while being distracted with gambling.  You need to be able to separate these activities because that's what leads to addiction amd the bad side of gambling.  Separation is key to either success or enjoyment from gambling.

Yup, and it is prohibited and this has been discussed in every new hire orientation on the first day of work. I'm not sure if this applies to other company but in our company, Gambling activity is strictly prohibited . That's true that if you combine doing gambling during working hours, it will affects your time, quality and performances most especially if you're the type of person who can't fo multitasking. As I read other comments above, other people suggested to do multitasking, particularly to those person who luckily has work from home set up, as long as your performance didn't affect by doing other activities such as gambling.

[Hirose UK]

Of course, there are jobs where there is absolutely no opportunity for distraction, this could be a city bus driver in a crowded city. All he can do is engage in gambling at home. And there is a truck driver who drives along a highway without cars and plays all day without stopping. Many people will think that the second driver has a better job because he can afford it. But I want to say that one wrong move or distraction in 2 seconds at high speed and he will fly off the road to the side of the road. And at best, he will remain alive, but with injuries. To summarize, I just wanted to clearly show the difference, I hope I succeeded.

You are right that not all work can be done in relaxed manner and can do other activities in between working hours. All of this work requires concentration and also full time during working hours so the only time when you want to gamble is only when you have finished your work or when you have finished working back home.
But the job you have mentioned is not job that is generally done by the majority of people, you can count the number of people who do it as driver.
Moreover, gambler who still has sense of responsibility for work is gambler who still has sense of responsibility because gamblers who are really crazy about gambling prefer to stay at home playing various bets or online casino games.
When worker gambles it is just entertainment and if they gamble as long as it doesn't interfere with their work and doesn't damage their concentration in completing work then I don't think gambling at work is bad thing.
It all depends on how they behave and apply professionally as workers, we also feel tired and fed up at work, so gambling can be more entertaining and give us feeling of enthusiasm to return to other activities.

Nevertheless, sometimes there are such boring days at work when there are no tasks from the boss, and you just need to spend 8 hours sitting in one place. Now, at such moments, I began to read forums on cryptocurrencies, or play ordinary computer games. But I used to love playing poker. Time passes unnoticed for gambling, but if the boss came in at the time of the game, then I was angry that I couldn't sit and calmly finish playing poker.

Of course, this is a bad occupation and there should not be such entertainment at work.

Yes, we really shouldn't do that while we are working. The situation is that we are working in a place that can provide us with a salary so we cannot do activities that can disturb our focus at work. We must also be able to appreciate the people who have given us work by working as well as possible so that we can be dedicated to our workplace. We can gamble after we finish work and that will be better because we can enjoy gambling without any distractions from our work. Yes, separation or understanding of where we are is really necessary so that we don't gamble anywhere, especially if we are working. That will only give us trouble later.

[wendty]

I have absolutely no habit of gambling at work or during working hours because I know that this will have a significant impact on my work performance. In particular, losing money in gambling and losing the last money of a low-income person in gambling, unfortunately, doesn't only have a negative financial impact on the person but also has a very serious negative impact in terms of psychological and morale. For this reason, I definitely don't gamble at work or during working hours in order not to compromise my work performance and efficiency.

Just like you separate your funds for your survival and funds for entertainment which includes gambling. What's prohibited in the office should not be done, if you break the rules, you might get fired and you will end up with no money to gamble. So it's important that we have to understand the possible consequences of our actions, bad actions will always have a bad consequences, and it's always better to do the preventive measure.

Not everything that we want that makes us happy is good for us, if we are just paid to do the job, that should be our focus, and although you can sneak into gambling while at work, we better avoid that as way to respect the company and your co workers.

Yeah right, for those low income employee and they have affiliation into gambling, losing money will have that huge impact to thier finances and like what you just said, it's tough to work on it as it's also affects your mental health, better to take some gambling with your spare money and spare time, it will not affect anything and it can give you some rest when killing some time.

Keep in mind that it's always you that control everything, choosing to play while at work is not the right one and appropriate as you are risking not only your money but also your job when you got caught by your boss.

[KiaKia]

Maybe office work with less distraction? You can't be working on a machine and start thinking about gambling, you can't be an accountant and start gambling at work, distraction can affect your work, you can lose a hand or do the wrong calculations, I won't advice anyone to gamble at work unless the activities are less tasking, like they have a lot of time to fool around, I won't do it though, because I don't like losing the sense of my environment, I will like to gamble in my room right on my bed.

You should also do this if the business is yours, don't do it if you are working under a boss, you are simply inviting your sack letter slowly, if you have haters among the workers they can burst your ass using your gambling activities.

[junder]

You would really be definitely be less efficient if you do this, this is why it would really be that wise that you should really be separating gambling thing and working on which both things shouldnt collide on a similar schedule.Hence, you would really be putting up yourself on such great trouble on the time that you would really be getting caught by your supervisor/manager/owner on the time that you do play gambling.
If you are really just that mainly relying with your job salary pay to live then you are putting your life into trouble and this isnt something worth i should say for someone to do so.
People would really be just having those kind of regrets of their actions on the time that they would suffer those consequences.

I understand your statement. What you say is correct, these two things should not be done at the same time, because that will cause problems. if they gamble while working or at work, it will only bring problems, especially if their boss doesn't like gambling activities, because most gambling has a bad perspective. So it's only natural that their bosses are angry when they find out that their employees are gambling during work hours, because in my opinion it will have an impact on their performance which might result in something bad.

That's right, they will regret their actions if they might have been fired from their job, besides, if they have already got a job, I think what they have to do is maintain that job well, not look for problems. because if they work well I think they will have a good change whether it's a promotion or maybe a salary increase, and that is a good thing for them.

The point is yes of course time management is really needed and everyone should have or apply time management in their lives because with this then you will be able to divide your focus on each activity that you are doing, and if you do two activities at the same time then obviously there is a risk that can have an impact on one of the activities that you are doing and for the problem of gambling during working hours as I said earlier that I believe in that decision then obviously their main focus is more directed at something that can attract more attention to them namely gambling.

After all, work is the only way to make ends meet and if you gamble at work then you are risking your life because of the consequences of losing your job just for making a very silly and risky decision. On the other hand, yes of course there are many other times that you can gamble, you can gamble when you are off work, I admit that gambling full time is more fun and relaxing than gambling while doing other things.

Even in that kind of setup, doing any other activities should not be applied, especially gambling. Gambling is not an activity for you to do multitasking. It requires your focus and probably a few hours to finish gambling. All those hours spent gambling will be wasted instead of doing your tasks on your job.

I agree if playing gambling when we are at work, is a bad habit. Only people who get addicted in gambling who can't stop gambling when they are at work. Normal people must focus on the work first, they won't gamble at the wrong time. Gambling isn't a must activity, meanwhile working is a must. We understand which one should be the priority, don't do both at the same time because it will be very possible to decrease the quality of our works. TBH, I never gamble when I am at work, I can't focus on my work if I'm gambling.

Indeed. We must separate working and gambling, they can't be done together. When I'm at office, I will never try thinking about gambling because I'll be too busy with varied works. There should be certain time to gamble when we are already at home, or we are in a spare/free time in holiday. We must know that gambling is an entertainment thing, it won't be an enjoyable activity if we do it at work, right?  

[uneng]

Gambling isn't a must activity, meanwhile working is a must. We understand which one should be the priority, don't do both at the same time because it will be very possible to decrease the quality of our works.

I believe the main point in this case is that once the person applied for the job and was hired by the employer, he accepted the terms and conditions of the business, which implied that from X to Y hour this person would have to execute a series of tasks. If the employee is gambling at work, it means he is already breaking the deal made with the employer, so he is wrong and there are no excuses for his behavior, especially if it's done in a frequent basis.

People who gamble at work should put themselves on bosses' shoes and think if they would be fine if they were in reverse roles. I'm sure they wouldn't pay someone to do a job, knowing they were doing something else instead of the activities they were supposed to be executing.

I know somedays are stressing and we want to give a big "F" to the whole world around, however, we can't impose our own wishes and desires to a group or society and force them to accept our behaviors because we are in a bad mood. So, if someone isn't able to work for whatever reasons, better to call the supervisor, explain the situation or try to get a sick leave for a while than acting irresponsibly or rebelliously at work.

Recently I told a friend about casinos and everything related to this, I didn't think she would like it so much, in fact, she showed me at work that she was playing on Rolllbit and she was asking me questions, but we were at work, When she called me and said she was playing, she told me how to bet, I told her why she was doing it at our job, to be careful, because with that you couldn't play like that, I made her get out of the game, I told her I told him not to do that, I told him this is not for playing here, it is better to concentrate, because if he does it here he can give away and he can also lose the money in the casino.

But that's something you shouldn't do , I didn't tell him to do it or be in the casino just for that, but what you should do is be Careful with our jobs, you should never do something like that to Risk your job. , it is not correct and as a good person I had to Scold Her.

You did good on telling her she is not supposed to do those things while at work.
Actually, it catches more my attention you decided to talk about gambling to your female co-worker and the fact she was already into it. Because, you know... In the most of the cases, women do not seem to be appealed by gambling as much as men are.
Is there a chance that co-worker you are talking about could be suffering from addiction to gambling without you knowing about it? Because, in my opinion, gambling while one is working could be considered to be a symptom (perhaps an early symptom) of growing gambling addiction.
If you ever notice she continued to gamble at work, it would be up to you to continue to remember to her who she is supposed to behave while working, otherwise she may get in trouble sooner than she realizes it.  

Maybe, both if you have some kind of job which does not demand to keep too much attention all the time? That may explain a little bit what is going on and what prompts your coworker into looking for distraction in cryptocurrency casinos.

The ideal scenario is your job is so easy with long hours and not much to do that gambling is no distraction at all.   I still think caution is required in that you end up over gambling, the time you spent earning money is negated by the fact you lost too much to gambling a real nightmare situation to be in.   So minor gambling at a very boring job I can believe and not disagree with because I know that kind of job but most people dont have that scenario of so much empty space to fill.
