Who among you here is gambling at work?

[junder]

A man has to go to work to earn a living in that case if someone gambles negligently, he may be deprived of his job which will adversely affect his normal life. Gambling in the workplace should not be true. Gambling should be a leisure time with which family evil will not have any influence. Humans have hidden instincts that can cause harm to themselves or others just as there are urges of the intellect or stings of conscience. Who is responsible for these negative and destructive instincts hidden in people thinking about their own good gambling should not be done at work.

Of course the purpose of working is to get a living or income which is to fulfill our basic needs. It is true that you said that if you do gambling at work, it is likely that it could cause problems and worse, it could make us lose the job that has become our own livelihood point. Because in my opinion, not all company bosses like gambling even if there are people who like gambling, maybe the boss will not allow gambling during working hours. Because they think it can reduce the performance of our work.

In my opinion, if we already have a job then we should be able to be responsible for the work we have. Even though there is an urge from ourselves to do gambling, it does not mean that we have to gamble at work, because in my opinion it should not be done, gambling must be played comfortably so do gambling at a slow time like after work, the point is to be able to divide time well, not to do things that can trigger problems, because it will bring disaster like gambling during working hours it is not recommended.

It’s also possible that someone who still respects their job can gamble out of addiction (even if they are trying to be free from it). But like I said earlier, anyone who gambles during work for whatsoever reason should get fired, unless the job is not a professional one. You can gamble before or after, not just on duty. If I was the employer, I’d assume such person doesn’t have respect for the company and doesn’t know work ethics.

even for unprofessional work, it still requires their professionalism to be able to provide the best work by not doing anything other than their work. if they want to gamble or something else, they can do it outside of their working hours, not when they are doing their work. because each has their own responsibilities and when people take their work too lightly by gambling during work, it means they are not fit to be employed.

Yes, because of such distractions, information technology departments in companies regularly upgrade access restrictions to gambling websites as well as absolutely prohibit such gathering behaviors, no matter what role one is in, one needs to use all one's energy for that job, distracting yourself to an emotional game like gambling only makes the work session more difficult. People who are not professional in using their minds will use their hands and feet to work and with such volume, gambling will not interfere when we are in a working state.

Gambling at work is not a good working ethics even if it's your private life, when we lose we often get emotional and it affect us in different ways, like me I could get angry and want to stay alone to reminisce my loss, but at times I also don't care, just depends how the loss came, nothing hurts more than when I lose by one game those kind of conditions piss me off.

Gambling in general has a kind of psychological effect on us cause we then to get disappointed when we lose and its best for us to develop a good habit around it cause when ever we lose it causes us to want to stake again.

You understand the point. Some people may say it’s their life and their time, but not every job will tell you what not to do. For example, some companies have the rule that you do not engage in gambling at work. While others don’t mention it, it’s best to be smart and know what is appropriate for work. Or how to maintain a good work ethics.

Of course there are jobs where it is unethical to gamble during work, even sitting or holding a mobile phone in hand is prohibited. But to claim that gambling at work is bad at every kind of job is something  I cant agree with. Freelancers also do some kind of job, at home. They should not gamble at work either? Or take my job. All the work is connected with pc or mobile. I can do my work from the office, at home at the sofa, even while being abroad in the pool with margarita cocktail. Not because I am a big boss or nobody controls my work. But because my boss is oriented on the result, but not how it will be achieved. All he cares is that work must be done.

I do agree into your point that this would really be also depending on what kind of work you do have whether if its office based or a field based one on which it is possible that you could really be able to paly gambling when you do have an office work compared into those who are at field on which it is really that safety hazard or really very dangerous on losing up your focus. This is why
it would really be just that depending on what work you do have but in overall or frankly saying that its never been good to play or whatever things that you would be doing in working hours.
You arent that getting paid for making up those activities but rather you are paid on doing with your job, you could do the rest when you do get home.

You know, many of us, forum members, read and post on the forum during their working hours. Many use work PC to read news, some watch YouTube parallel working. Some might take a pause (without asking others) and out for 5-15minutes for a smoke. Other might have a stomach problems and run to WC every few hours. If we have a working days from 9 to 5, it does not mean that we starting working at 9, and finish at 5, and between those hours we only work-work-work-work. Frankly, we slack a lot during working hours. So where is that gap between reading news at work (meaning not work) and gambling for the same 5-15min (meaning not working)? Why it is not good to gamble, but to got out and smoke every hours and with every colleague is ok?

The company only want its employees can work well in the company and not gambling in their free time or work time. The company want their employee show their best performance for the company so that the company can become even better. An employee who understands the regulations in his company will not use his free time to gamble because it can affect his emotions after finished gambling so that can disrupted his work and make him unable to complete his work on time. Employees like that are what companies will look for because they really understand their working hours well so they won't ignore them just to gamble. They can go back to gambling after coming home from work so they can gamble.

I didn’t make this post based on experience, I was generally speaking. However, let me reference a time where I could relate with what I am currently saying. There was a time I was working from home and was gambling too. The game didn’t need me to hold my device or do anything apart from having staked it. All I had to do was to now focus on my work, But I never could focus; many times I kept on checking on my phone and would let the phone screen go off. I was anxious and was curious to know the outcome. I eventually didn’t do the work because that was enough distraction to not do it.

Even if you gamble during break, it can still influence you. If you are extremely sure (not just claiming) that when you gamble you’ll stay off your phone or that tab and still give maximum performance that isn’t impacted by some series of emotions induced by gambling, then you’re good, else, don’t gamble at work. Nonetheless, it’s best to keep off gambling in working hours even if you placed the bet in your break.

I have to say that those who are gambling at work are people who cant manage their time well. Working time should be used wisely, to focus on the work only but I wont deny that I have done it before because I was so bored with what I do in my office. I realize that it is a mistake and I do not do it again till now to avoid something bad with my career. Better to manage our gambling time, gamble when we have free time only, time when we have nothing to do at all. Time is priceless especially when it comes with our family, job, or relationship.

I doubt if everyone that gambles at work are time utilizers, some of them are One of the gambling addicts who can't stay off gambling to a limit. So, they could gamble even at their working hours prioritizing the gambling to be a major source of their income. I am speaking as a living withness when a colleague of mine has on several occasions failed to deliver his daily tasks at work just because he has been spending most of his working hours on gambling at other times he is being emotional at work over his looses on gambling which has caused him the set backs from concentrating to deliver his job.
The continuous occasion made him lost his job.

This is why I agrees with you that gambling is ought to be played when we have free times which would even have you more benefits to concentrate but gambling trying to manage your time could get you on pressure which could get you betting in pressure because you needed to meet up with other tasks.

Totally depends if they would really be that strict when it comes to that or not but most of them wont really be liking on seeing their workers do play on work hours on which they arent paying their workers just for them to play. If its talking about those vacant times then it would be understandable as long it wont really be done on working hours. Just like on what been said by most people that
it is better that you shouldnt really be playing at all because you are really just that putting up yourself on such trouble or risks on losing your job. We do know that there's no such thing about
permanent on this world and everything would really be based up with your performance and behavior. So better to avoid those things which could really affect these main things.

The people posting here are not gamblers,some of them are gamblers and some are them are the people who are friends or relatives of the gamblers.By seeing their nature of gambling,they make share their experience.The reason was in one or some way the gamblers this will help the gamblers to avoid of loss in the gambling site.The home will be best place for gambling,because gambling should be played without any pressure in the game.If the gamblers faces the losses,they should not play the game for sometimes to avoid entire game.

Even if you gamble during break, it can still influence you. If you are extremely sure (not just claiming) that when you gamble you’ll stay off your phone or that tab and still give maximum performance that isn’t impacted by some series of emotions induced by gambling, then you’re good, else, don’t gamble at work. Nonetheless, it’s best to keep off gambling in working hours even if you placed the bet in your break.

The gambler who get addicted to the gambling can do the gambling with the very low money.So the gambling loss will be very low money,The life is fully depends on the money in one of two way.So the gamblers should use the money in the right way with knowledge to make the money from the gambling site instead of losing the funds.The gambler better avoid the gambling at their work,So someone will not take the advantage of reporting him to the manager for their promotion.

Before you see anyone who gambles or does some other activities at work, you should know that the job environment permits and allows that, and in as much as it is the free time of the employees, we still have some jobs that give high discretion to the employee's on the kinds of activities they can engage in, and since gambling is perceived as a negative vibe, it becomes very very few to see a job environment or organizations that openly permits it staffs to gamble while at work.

Although we can still see a pocket fee of them that allows such to happen,  but with severe discretion and not to be publicly done as if it is a free gambling world, and any staff that gambles at work will have to do that with a high sense of privacy.

Indeed, even if you are in your free time, there are still particular rules and regulations that you need to follow. Gambling is not going to be legal, especially when using the company's own devices. There are roles that you can use, your computers or laptops, but most of the time there is particular access that you can't deal with, though  using your personal device might allow you, but complying with company policies is a must.

Just like what you said, if not all but particularly, most of those companies will disallow any of their employee to gamble inside their premises.

I can see your point, but the difference is that gambling is an activity that is done purely for entertainment purposes, so any activity that is even remotely connected to your job can be easily justified away without too much of a problem.

But if this is not the case then you could get in trouble, as even if taking a small break here and there is also not something anyone will make a fuss about it, if you are often caught gambling or watching some youtube videos you could get fired, or at least you could get on the short list of those that have the power to take that decision.

Ethics at work is the main point for every employee who works in a government office or private company. Other things that are done but do not interfere with working hours, I mean just relaxing to refresh the brain due to being too stressed to complete work are still acceptable because the duration does not take up too much time.
Gambling activities can make you forget your responsibilities, the adrenaline produced when gambling is very different from just reading or watching videos on YouTube. You will become more immersed in the atmosphere, especially when you are lucky, your mind will be increasingly encouraged to continue betting due to the positive adrenaline produced by the hope of getting a bigger win.

I agree. I don't think anyone can have a straight mind and a focused mind if they are doing gambling at work. If they experience losses, then there is a change in mood or emotion in that employee, which might affect not just his work but also the people around him. The same goes for winning. As you've said, the gambler worker could become so overwhelmed that he will lose focus in his work and eventually will never notice the time, and at the end of the day, he will not be able to complete his task.

But if you are an employee who could manage to balance work and gambling, then that's good because you still have the resolve to work despite the result. So in conclusion, I'd rather balance work and other things, but inside the work or office, I want to focus more on my work in order to complete it. If I have spare time, I could maybe play a few gambling games.

Listening to the music or radio is also done in entertainment purposes. Should employees then sit in silence whole day?

Once again. I dont support going to work, opening casino in browser and gamble for the whole working day, with making pauses to work a little and coffee breaks. I dont support gambling at work when from your work other persons life is endangered or he can get injured. I dont support gambling at work when you work in government institution for example.

But I see not problem to make a 5-10 min gambling session at work, when you have done your current tasks, you dont have any future future tasks, and you dont bother others work.

If company regulations are really strict in supervising their workers, no one will dare to violate the regulations because they will be punished. Workers will not use their working hours to playing gambling or doing other activities that are not related to work at the company. Workers must not risk losing their jobs just to satisfy their passion to playing gambling because this will give a problems at their work.

It's best to avoid things that can give them a problems. They can gamble at home. And that means they don't have to playing gambling at work. And no need to risk losing your job. If they lose their jobs because of playing gambling, it will give bigger problems for workers.

Gambling at work is not a good working ethics even if it's your private life, when we lose we often get emotional and it affect us in different ways, like me I could get angry and want to stay alone to reminisce my loss, but at times I also don't care, just depends how the loss came, nothing hurts more than when I lose by one game those kind of conditions piss me off.

Gambling in general has a kind of psychological effect on us cause we then to get disappointed when we lose and its best for us to develop a good habit around it cause whenever we lose it causes us to want to stake again.

You understand the point. Some people may say it’s their life and their time, but not every job will tell you what not to do. For example, some companies have the rule that you do not engage in gambling at work. While others don’t mention it, it’s best to be smart and know what is appropriate for work. Or how to maintain a good work ethic.

Before you see anyone who gambles or does some other activities at work, you should know that the job environment permits and allows that, and in as much as it is the free time of the employees, we still have some jobs that give high discretion to the employee's on the kinds of activities they can engage in, and since gambling is perceived as a negative vibe, it becomes very very few to see a job environment or organizations that openly permits it staffs to gamble while at work.

That isn’t necessarily true. People still gamble even when their work doesn’t permit it. If you doubt it then tell me how addicts manage to cope during working hours. The issue with gambling at work isn’t about how it is perceived as negative but the fact that it is a distraction. Just like people can’t conveniently game at work because their boss would see them as unserious, but with gambling, it isn’t just about how your boss will see you but the fact you likely wouldn’t be able to focus on your job after staking a game.

Gambling is blocked by most work computers like a few other vice subjects people might know of.   Obvious reasoning its a clear distraction to a large extent and there is no crossover interest from one to the other, nothing work related is gambling most of the time so its an easy exclusion and many utility providers will do this by default rule set.   That software then is sold across entire company network and set in policy, Ive seen it built into routers and anti virus software.   Theres always a way around it but in addition a work place may search actively for traffic resembling that which is banned, Ive seen that done.
