Who among you here is gambling at work?

[Quidat]

Yeah right, the chance of keeping your focus into gambling either you are winning or losing will lead you not to pay attention to your work, it might ruin your bread and butter in terms of financial needs. Better not to deal with it if you can hold and wait till your shift ends up and you have all the free time to gamble.

Well, that can makes your works can't finish in the right time and clearly, your focus on your work will disturb. When you lose, your minds will back to thinks about your loss and will not realizes that your gambling time is over and you now must continue your work until it finish. But because of you gets lose in gambling, your minds can't thinks clearly and not accepting the lose so that can interrupt your emotion and your work. It's why that if you want to playing gambling, you better doing that in your home and not in your work because you risks your work and that can makes you gets fired when your superiors knows.

On the time that you cant be that efficient already into your work then it does really shows that gambling did really affect you out then it would really be that best that you should really quit up gambling for good. You would really be having a choice whether you would really be putting up some focus on doing gambling and lost your work or you would be having that moderation so that
you wont potentially be able to compromise your source of income? It wouldnt be so hard on making up a choice but if you are that too dumb on to choose up gambling over work
then you are out of your mind. Never ever consider out on taking up such action because you would really be definitely be regretting in the end of line.

Just don't get caught because it will not be a good ending for you and no amount of explanation and persuasion can make your employer or senior colleagues agree with you on that reason.

It's absolutely wrong for someone that's employed to do a particular job by a particular firm to be gambling during working time and if for any reason he's relieved of his duties after the employer finds out of his gambling engagements during working hours, I think the best to do in other to save sack him for his unprofessionalism. To everything there's a time and for an employee to engage in gambling activities during working hours, it simply means he's not actually serious with work ahd such person i think deserves to be sacked without waiting for any sort lf explanation to justify his action

[promise444c5]

The topic subject  is funny itself!
It feels  like "Hey you why TF are you gambling  at work"

I will be replying to the subject, Gambling  should not interfered with our personal lives , anyone Gambling  at work is probably doing it for two reasons
One: he's having a break which bores him  alot,
Two: he's probably  addicted negatively to gamble at work
If Gambling  is beign done while working then such person is addicted and need help to quitting  it because  getting  addicted negatively  could ruin someone  entirely

A mistake that can have fatal consequences is if a worker gambles during working hours and if his employer or superior finds out about this, he will receive a warning or be immediately expelled. It really doesn't make sense if workers are working during their working hours and also carry out their gambling activities and it would be nice if people could do that. I myself don't know if he is really good at doing that because of the addiction factor he can do it.
And if he is addicted to gambling then I wouldn't be surprised if he can do it because addicts can't just stop because all they have in mind is playing and playing.

Yeah, but gambling can be a slippery slope, and someone that just gambles a bit because they are bored can end up in a situation in which they can't control their gambling anymore.

And then they start putting more and more money in there and there will be a point in which they will not have access to more funds, and they probably will lose their job at that time as well as their minds will be in another place.

It is wrong as you have noted. When you work and gamble, you must lose focus on the job. Gambling can affect emotion whether a gambler is winning or not. When you are winning, you become excited and want to continue gambling and when you are losing you become sad and then you pick offense over everything. Even an order from your superior can trigger anger and even disobedience because your mood has been distorted. This can affect the activeness and productivity of such workers. There is also every tendency that a gambler who gambles during work might find it challenging to get to work early since sometimes he will use money meant for transportation to place a bet and then scrabble to get a replacement which is not always easy.

I have a friend who was a chronic gambler and most times he would gamble with all his funds and then be absent from work. I agree that such a worker should be sacked. Every employer wants to grow his business and make a profit and so if his employee is not helping him achieve this goal, the employer will sack such employee to pave the way for an individual capable of bringing profit to the organization.

Generally speaking gambling at work is a very bad and unacceptable practice since gambling naturally eat up one time and energy with loads of distractions, so majority's of CEOs will always have gambling on the blacklist among activities that are accepted within the workplace.
It's hard before you see any company that allows their staffs to gamble at work and if they are caught gambling secretly, it can lead to sack of that employee or suspension, because at that point their are already going out of context of the job and there is no relationship between working and gambling.

[Rampagoe004]

Gambling addiction will reduce productivity at work. I'm sure this will make your boss suspicious and one day they will find you gambling while working. And because you can't work optimally then of course your boss will fire you. I'm not sure your boss will give you a warning. Gambling addiction is a fatal mistake. I think no one wants their employees to be gambling addicts. Gambling addicts can cause bad things for companies such as fraud or embezzlement of company money. Therefore, don't be a gambler in your work environment.

[348Judah]

Very bad idea to see someone gambling at the place of work, i can't do that and will never tolerate or take it easy on anyone working under me gambling at the working hours, this is one of the means at which we ought to discipline ourself, we must not engage doing some activities base on the location we are or what we are doing, such could take our attention in concentrating on making the bet delivery of what we can do because our attention is divided and we cannot be here and there at the same time.

Right now I am writing this post while being at work. During last 15 minutes I was drinking morning coffee, reading forum, scrolling through Facebook, but instead I could have used this time to play dice on a mobile If you were my boss, you would have punished me for that ? You know that you dont have rights to do that? First you would have to explain why you interfere in my private life, then show where it is written that mobiles arent allowed to use at the office.

they will be more suspicious if you used to be productive, you hit a quota at work and you finish before deadlines everything that needs to be done and then in an instant, suddenly changes, you are always late in passing the requirements needed, you no longer meet  your daily quota, you are late even at the time of work even though you have already worked from home, you don't feel like working because the reason is that your attention is divided between working and gambling, but just to inform everyone that gambling is not for long term, it can be done anytime  and we can win big but we can also lose, there are no benefits to be gained from gambling unlike what your company offered to you,  so let's think carefully about what will help our lives, many people aspire to the position you have now so it should not be taken for granted.

Indeed, moderation can help as you can always play your game after your work, and by the same with your statement not unless you are so dump choosing gambling and risking your job in case you messed up with your obligation during you are still in duty, it's best to control yourself as there's always a big risk putting two things together especially if it's needs focus and attentions.

Though as I mentioned, better not to compromised things out, as you have that authority in terms of controlling the situation as long as you are still in charge on both emotions and your finances.

As far as I know there is no company or field of work in the world where an employer is allowed to gamble at the work place. A gambler cannot be normal when he bets if he observes the state of his bets. Especially when his bets are oscillating between winning and losing. I can say with certainty that if a gambler gambles at their place of work they will not be able to function in the work place to their full potential. Another negative aspect of gambling at work is that the boss in charge will have a negative perception of the gambler which can have a big impact on his work life. I myself have bet in the field of work for several days where my results were poor. On the one hand, I had to be stressed about the betting situation and on the other hand, the attention to work was lost. Since then I never like to bet at work.

I agree with that, indeed if we do gambling during work hours it is very possible to make our performance. Because I think gambling can affect our thinking which will divert our focus on gambling alone. It's true what you said, if our performance decreases, maybe it will be a question for our superiors. And if he finds out we are gambling during working hours maybe the worst thing is that the boss will make the decision to fire us dishonorably, and if that does happen in my opinion it is the worst thing and we are also the stupidest people because why should we do things that trigger big problems.

It is very small if in my opinion when we are caught gambling during working hours we will be given a chance or just a warning, even though there are people who say it depends on the job, but in my opinion in any job we must be professional in doing it. Also all work in my opinion must be done well, in all jobs all the same, it is unethical to do gambling during working hours.

It is wrong as you have noted. When you work and gamble, you must lose focus on the job.

The "must" you used is what actually attracted me in your sentence and I strongly disagree with it as used. Three factors are important here which are 1). The nature of the job and 2). The time of gambling, and 3). The nature of the gambler.

Depending on the job, many workers have enough time to do whatever they want to do whether the thing is useful or not, and if they do not gamble at that time, they might even possibly be idle for hours doing nothing. Gambling that time and with that nature of work will never make you lose focus. Of course, unless you are an addict who gambles anyhow which is a different context entirely.

But so long as the gambler is wise and responsible himself, this is not an issue as he would know the right time to gamble and when not to. However, if you are such that gambling is affecting your focus at work, then quit it, but should not be treated as a basis for everyone, especially those who know how to handle themselves well.

Gambling can affect emotion whether a gambler is winning or not. When you are winning, you become excited and want to continue gambling and when you are losing you become sad and then you pick offense over everything. Even an order from your superior can trigger anger and even disobedience because your mood has been distorted. This can affect the activeness and productivity of such workers.

Hahaha...This point is very right, and if you are such that can't handle yourself you should quit it at that time, it is never by force. But mind you, if a person is passing aggression just because of losses in gambling, how are you sure that the same person will not pass the same aggression when he gambles during off-work hours?

For clarity, what if the person has just lost a huge amount of money a few hours prior to resuming work on that day or next, will such be happy as if nothing has happened? Certainly No. This is why I still see this as individual behaviours which gamblers must strive to avoid. It is never peculiar to gambling at work at all, it is part of the irresponsible behaviour in gambling that we generally preach against.

There is also every tendency that a gambler who gambles during work might find it challenging to get to work early since sometimes he will use money meant for transportation to place a bet and then scrabble to get a replacement which is not always easy.

You can't just stop getting me laughing here. What you are trying to buttress still lies within the same point you've been trying to establish. What you just explained is the irresponsible character of a gambler and not a matter of gambling at work or not. If a gambler gambles at work and can't fund his transport home and also back to work the next day, is that not foolishness/addiction? What if the same gambler did not gamble at work but gambled senselessly after work with all his money including the one that would take him home and back to the workplace the next day? Will he not suffer the same fate? Think about it, it is still the same thing and is not peculiar to gambling at work as it can happen to gamblers at any time. It generally an irresponsible act by a gambler which is due to the lack of self-control and management of scarce resources.

Yes, I understand. We all make mistakes and become distracted. But lets be honest. Gambling is hurting your performance as a great performer. The house always wins, plainly. Smart people avoid such chances. Better than that, you. Gambling risks your work and reputation. You shouldnt risk that.

Yes, I've had hard moments. But you must focus on actual wins - respect, stability, long-term ambitions. This setback is transient. You can fix this and move forward. Dont waste your accomplishments for a quick fix. You can do big things, so lets keep winning.

It is very risky for our work because we are addicted to gambling, so we cannot focus optimally on work that should be carried out well by thinking about being able to gamble, so we will make a lot of mistakes at work and from this our superiors will slowly become suspicious of us. Because our performance is not optimal and we work unprofessionally, problems will arise immediately, namely we will receive a letter of reprimand or be fired immediately.

On the time that you cant be that efficient already into your work then it does really shows that gambling did really affect you out then it would really be that best that you should really quit up gambling for good.

It's better not to playing gambling in your work if you can't be that efficient or can't focus after playing gambling. That will disturb your work and gives some problems to you so you better not to playing gambling in your work. When you don't see bigger chance to win from gambling, it's better you leave gambling as a fun and not depends on the gambling to make money, especially if you already have a job that can gives you money. You better to serious with your work than with gambling because you can make money from your work. Yes, it will be too dumb if you choose to playing gambling to make money than from the work that clearly can gives you the income. No need to listen to your friends that asking you to playing gambling in your work because you must prevent the problems that can occurs to you.

Even when it is really not right to play online gambling while we are at work, We all know that our attention will be divided between work and gambling.
It is possible to spend more time and attention on gambling via an online casino.

So if anyone is an employee, this is not a good decision to make, and he should simply choose what his priority is, whether it is his job or his passion for gambling.

[bakasabo]

Does it really makes sense when so many claim that gambling at work affects job effectivity, yet nobody works non-stop at work and during working days always have moments to go make a coffee, chat with others employees, check their social media or simply surf in the internet? Why spending 15 minutes on gambling is unacceptable and will have an impact on result, but reading news for 30min while drinking morning coffee + going out every few hours for a smoke is ok and does not make affect on a result?
