Is it a cause of concern if your employer frequent casinos?

[gracreavix]

I don’t think your friend the employees should be bothering himself about that, that nor of his business at all. The employer has been doing well for himself before, so because he is gambling now doesn’t mean the business will just crumble.
He might even be gambling for fun who knows, people just assume too much once gambling enters the matter. Except the workers are already seeing problems in the company because of it, then I don’t think there’s any reason to worry honestly. He should just mind his business and stay away from his employer private life.

Now he is asking me, is it a big concern if your employer starts to frequent casinos? Or he is just speculating that it will harm the company eventually.

First of all it his boss we are talking about and not him so it's not that right polk nosing in his Boss affairs, it's better for him to concentrate more on his primary assignment and forget what is not his business. Even though am not that sure but I believe that his Boss must has been in that for a very long time now and your  friend in question is just opportuned to know now. However, for him to be a player and his company still doing very well for the pass two decades now simply means he's actually gambling responsibly and he knows what he's doing. So it will be of your friend interest to face his work and leave the one that doesn't concern him.

Why shouldn't it be a worry if it is your job that can be on the line if ever the employer suddenly declares bankruptcy because of his gambling problem? An employee cannot do anything about that but only leave and look for another job. Now, if you are in a third-world country, it can be a big problem. Seeking a job is difficult, and most of those who hire fast are low payers. Just the minimum or sometimes below it.
An employee must be aware of what is happening to their boss so that they could get ready if anything happens. They could seek jobs as early as possible before it happens so that they will still have the money to do it.

If the employer would start stalking his employees and complaining on public what they do in their free time it would be a scandal. But OP friend is worried that his boss will lose all his money. Even if employer does this, he will sell his company together will all employees to cover gambling debts, but that will mean that your friend will still have high chances of keeping a job. If OP friend is working in legal business, than there is little chance that employer will be able to bet a company, rather his own money.

This is coming from a friend, he's been with a company that is a restaurant and a catering service for 15 years, and is a regular employee. This is not really a big company, but it's been stable for the last 20 years.
But he learned that the owner became hooked in casino, and he was just starting to frequent casinos.

Now he is asking me, is it a big concern if your employer starts to frequent casinos? Or he is just speculating that it will harm the company eventually.

It's a major problem if your salary isn't paid in full each month or is delayed, as this automatically suggests your boss is using company funds for gambling. However, if you're paid regularly and your benefits are good, you have no reason to worry. The most important thing is that your rights as an employee are being met and you don't need to interfere in your boss's affairs.

If a person goes to the casino regularly, it is a sign of addiction. But if a gambler goes to the casino on weekends, you might think of it as a normal fun gambling. If a company owner goes to the casino regularly for fun and to make money, it will be a dangerous situation when he loses control over himself. When he repeatedly breaks his set budget. When the gambler starts to run out of cash and starts to withdraw money from his business. In the end, he will sell his business because he has become indebted due to uncontrolled gambling.

That's true, he should be more concerned on his own self that hasn't make it yet instead of disturbing himself on someone that has already prepared his future and that of his children unborn.  Perhaps, am beginning to believe this saying that says poor people always love to advice rich people and that is a very good example of what is going on here.  Instead of advising someone that doesn't need it, it will make sense channeling that same advice to him self, because it's obvious he need it more than his employer did .

Let me just say here that if the owner of a company where we work goes to a casino to gamble, it does not mean that he is an irresponsible person or that he will lose all of his assets on gambling and will also close the company and we will also lose our job. Since gambling is a source of entertainment, everyone has the right to go to a casino and have a little fun.

But the problem here will be if the owner of that company is addicted to gambling or visits the casino frequently or if we somehow find out that he has become addicted to gambling more than necessary. Then I think this is definitely a concern. When we see such signs, it would be wise to try to shift from that company to another company.

I would absolutely not want to work in a campaign in which the owner fell in love with online casinos or betting. Because that's exactly what powerful people like to try their luck at. Poor people and the middle class always remember who they are and how important it is to control their money and emotions. But if someone is the director or owner of a campaign, then such a person can lose control of himself more easily and become a victim of uncontrolled gambling.

This is big problem since instead of we are getting our money in full, we might experience long delays or get paid in half because the employer  cannot pay because they are been badly affected by their bad decisions playing roughly on a casino.

If I experience this situation and looks like future is uncertain with that employer, I will seek for another job and will not stick with him since I can't accept that the boss is spending on nonsense thing while he's worker has been left hungry and experience delays of their salaries. But if they are paid in full and no problem exist even if they see their employer is a playing on a casino I think there's nothing to worry about in his situation.

[Slow death]

Honestly, I don't usually pry into other people's lives, especially those of employees. I believe that what each person does in their private life is their own business. For example, if an employee were gambling and only gambling with their own private money, and hadn't embezzled company funds, then I see no reason to interfere in that employee's life.

If there's a case of alleged embezzlement to fund gambling, and it's proven that employee X is responsible for such embezzlement, then in that case I would only limit myself to initiating administrative proceedings, which could lead to dismissal, and criminal proceedings, subject to an agreement to return all the money they stole, but perhaps in installments they could afford. I don't agree with being harsh on people, and I would advise the person to seek medical treatment to heal.

[Royal Cap]

I would say that just going to the casino does not mean that the company will end. Many people go for entertainment as well. The real concern is how much control he is keeping it under. If the company is still stable, pays salaries properly and the business is running as before, then maybe there is nothing to be afraid of. But if the gambling addiction goes out of control, then it can become a risk not only for the owner but for the entire company.  But yes your friend's thoughts are not completely unreasonable, because if the company has been stable for a long time, the employees will naturally think about the future, In my opinion we need to first see if there are any real changes happening within the company, such as delayed salaries.

This looks general and gambling isn't like that, some people are owners of companies they built with gambling money and there is no any other source of money they added to make that company stand. So saying that having a company and been a gambler doesn't equate in all times. There are some gamblers that started low and became so big that they never expected to see the outcome and because of the nature of gambling, they venture all the money to business while spending small time gambling.

Where I will see it as bad is if you are having a company and never been a gambler before and all of a sudden you start gambling due to one influence or another, then you need to be check because that's a sign of addiction and if it's not contain on time you are going to lose everything that you have work on all the time, the owner of the company may not lose himself alone but even the people under him will leave, it's a big red flag.

[skarais]

So far, I have never had a boss who was caught visiting a casino. I haven't had many bosses throughout my career, so as far as I know, none of them have ever done so. They could be gambling without my knowledge, but here, casinos are strictly illegal and cannot operate. Even if they did gamble, I'm sure they would only do so at online casinos and it wouldn't be a big deal if they gambled responsibly.

Did you actually meant to say campaign or company, because I know that you know that this two aren't the same, a campaign and a company are two completely different words and absolutely different meanings, I will assume you meant to say company and many your keyword changed it to campaign due to your frequent use of the word "campaign" and you failed to notice this.

I quite disagree with you, so far, you and I can agree that we hardly see or come across big or rich men who are problem gamblers, that is, you will hardly find a wealthy man who is said to be addicted to gambling, it's always the poor and middle class folks who we see and discuss about concerning their gambling addiction and how it ruined them.
For example, there is a thread I recently came across about someone that committed suicide, to me, I think he was a middle class earner who was working for a company, now I want ask, why not the manager or maybe the owner of the company? Why is it a mere worker that got so addicted to gambling to the extent he sold his two cars and spent all the money on gambling and later killed himself?
I think poor and middle class people are more addicted to gambling than the rich and wealthy.

[Versatile_choice]

I would say that just going to the casino does not mean that the company will end. Many people go for entertainment as well.

You think those gamblers who later became addicted to gamble was going for profit? Of course they first started with having fun with it but at some point they started shifting from fun to profit and I'm sure they have no idea about how it happens, so for that reason I'm going to advice anyone who is a manager in a company not to gamble because you really can't tell what will happen, gambling requires enough discipline and not everyone that can maintain that discipline without dropping it  along the line.

‎Knowing the risk that is involved in gambling, you will understand his fear. Just as you have said, the fellow has been with the company for a long time; the wellbeing of the company is also his wellbeing since he feeds himself and pays his bills from there. ‎Understanding that every loss the company will receive from his boss's frequent gambling habit will affect him. Yeah, it might be for his personal benefit, but it's highly for the good of the company.‎This is a personal decision from his boss, but showing concerns is normal too. ‎Trying to talk his boss out of it can help if he decides but if he doesn't, he definitely gets other job.
Not every situation needs "mind your business" especially if you can assess or freely speak to your boss.

This is a concern to me because the man has been working in that restaurant for 15 years, so he must have become close to the owner. And since people are addicted to gambling due to extreme emotions and greed, of course the employee should discuss the right strategies with his owner about gambling. Because if the person continues to go the wrong way and if it is at all wrong, then the matter should be taken seriously. No matter how much the owner is here, he should be explained and since he is working as an employee in his restaurant, if the restaurant is closed due to reckless gambling, the employees will stop working and their salaries will stop, so this is a matter of great concern.

Lol, you are saying that the boss will sell the company to pay gambling debt as if you don't understand how gambling works and that a person doesn't just lose a large amount at once, but they start slow, keep losing, then lose control, and then start losing more without being able to manage things properly, especially when it comes to finances. So if someone owns a business and has employees, and he becomes addicted to gambling, he won't just sell the company with the employees to get money for gambling, but he will slowly start gambling away his own money first, and then he will start using company's funds, and slowly, he will eat his own business up through gambling.

If the boss is not a serious gambler and does it only for fun, then it should not be an issue for the employees, but if that's not the case, and employees can see that their boss is spending more time gambling than he spends managing the business, then it surely is a concerning thing for them, because if he gambles to the point where he has to close the company or business down, those employees won't be employed anymore, and they will have to find jobs somewhere else.

If his friend is also in control of his feelings, it shows that they are enjoying gambling without allowing it to affect their works or jobs, unlike the way some bettors do and it will cause them more harm and also affect their works negatively but keeping their emotions in check will support them to make things easier for them and protect them from problems and every other things that will affect them in a bad way.
