Stigma is a big issue when it comes to gambling addiction. Many people are afraid to talk about it because they're worried about being judged or shamed. They may also be afraid of losing their job or damaging their reputation. But the reality is that gambling addiction is a treatable condition, and it's important for people to get the help they need. Employers can play a big role in breaking down the stigma by educating their employees about the signs of gambling addiction and encouraging them to seek help if they need it and not to fire them on charge of unprofessionalism.

Instead of afraid of losing their jobs our damage their reputations, they don't have to playing gambling at work because that can be the thing that can ruin their reputations if someone or the other employee see they playing gambling. They should take care themselves well at work and stay away for temporary from gambling sites especially if they are resting for a while. They don't have to tell to other employees because they don't know what is their friends reaction if they know their friend often playing gambling. A company gives their rule to all of their employee to obey and not break the rule because that can make them get punishment and the worst thing is get fired from their company.

It's not worth if we get fired from our jobs because of playing gambling so we must take care ourselves and works as usual so we can give our good performance to the company. Let the company knows that we are one of many employee that will give our best to the company so we can get rewards from the company. That will be better to us as we can be the best employee in our work and know how to works for our company.

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.

There is a need to place boundaries in our life activities to avoid misuse of our time. But sometimes you will be tempted to check your phone to check your games in sports bets. In some cases, I have seen some of my colleagues secretly go to the restroom where there are no CCTV cameras to place bets which is against work ethics. But l I have seen cases when an employee unconsciously screamed in the banking hall while performing his duties because he lost a bet. It was quite embarrassing and I know he would be sanctioned for that. Some employees can be sacked because they use work time for gambling and it affects their job performance.

I work in an organisation where you are not permitted to use your phones at the workplace not even during breaks. So I have been spared the temptation of placing bets in my office. But I prefer gambling during weekends when I am in a comfortable and relaxed mood. This will increase concentration and reduce hasty bets. The best way to deal with such abnormal behaviour is to stay away from phones and plan your gambling time.

I made bets at work when no one was looking and I can say that it slows down the pace of work and my thoughts become scattered. Despite the fact that the work was not very responsible and I realized that I would no longer do this. It’s a completely different matter if a player wants to place bets on a mobile phone when he has a very important job at the moment, for example, he is driving people on a bus and is constantly distracted to check the score in a football match. This can lead to an accident and people may die, but the driver does not attach any importance to this. I am sure that no one would want to be a passenger on such a bus.

Ultimately, it is best for me to do it in a calm atmosphere at home, so as not to wait for the boss to punish us for this or for our hobby to cause harm to people.

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.

Suppose you are an employee, who job depends on a results and work of others. Suppose you sit at the office and wait when somebody does calculations and give you numbers. So you say that while waiting, I am not allowed to anything else except work? You are CFO, you do things things monthly, when results are calculated, do major thing once a quarter. You say that such person must be fired?

Suppose I am not a professional. But I have a job contract where 1,2,3....X work duties are mentioned. What should I do if I have done them all? Should I work slower instead, so that my work will be unstoppable? Or should I then run through the office and ask if someone require any help?

I work on a delivery and wait for orders. Or work on a production and wait for supply delivery, which is being late due to rain, or broken tyre. Low level work. If you were my boss, you would have fire me, because "I do nothing at work". Brilliant logic.

Don’t get me wrong. My point is mainly about the unprofessionalism and the performance issue that comes with it. Theres a lot of emotions that comes with gambling, and if it happens to be the wrong emotion… what then do you think will happen to your performance (answer as a human being which you are)?

We’re all different people and see things differently, but I think it is wrong and very unprofessional to gamble during work hours (not just my idea but it’s a general idea).

Maybe I got your post wrong, but for me it sound like "work or get fire. in case there is no work - continue working". I understand that gambling results can cast impact on quality of work done. I agree, that is not acceptable. But if you have spare time at work, your free time does not endanger others life, why not spend this time they way you want. Like picking nose, reading new or playing Candy Crash are something different than gambling for same 10 minutes ?

Gambling during working hours isn't that insanity? Because your attention would be divided between your job and the gambling you are playing as it will make you not to concentrate in your work place. No matter the passion you have for gambling never gamble at your workplace as anything that would put your job at a stake should be avoided because that's where you earn your major income from so you shouldn't joke with it all.

There are different sets of workers we have in society: those who take their work very seriously and do it with passion, and those who are just there for the pay and are not deriving joy from the work. They always end up doing other things whenever they are left unsupervised. Most of this set of workers are those who work in government sectors.

Anyone who cherishes their job and focuses on how to bring maximum productivity to the industry will focus on improving the organisation and not on things that will drag it back. Only those who are not concerned with organisational goals can gamble in their work place, and such people can always end up bringing setbacks to the organisation.

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.

Your last sentence is a misunderstanding because I do not talk about carelessly firing the employee. If you check my last response in this thread, I mentioned advising and addressing the employee before you take the action of letting them go. Helping the employee also depends if the employee even wants help (because one can need help and not want it). Nonetheless, an employer doesn’t owe an employee anything, out of being humane, they can talk and advise the employee and even go as far as getting them a therapist. I am a humane person but if it happens that your gambling problem is really affecting the company, you should get replaced or the company suffers loss from the likely unproductive-ness.

I keep what little gambling I do to outside of work, as it is a leisure time activity and if you're incapable of setting boundaries it could lead down a slippery slope to things like addiction. If you are feeling the urge that bad to gamble throughout the whole day, it's quite possible that you have a problem that should be worked on or it could end up at a very expensive final destination. Maybe I'm lucky, but I enjoy my job which means that most of the day is filled with activities that keep me busy, although in the past there have been jobs where this sort of boredom could set in. One thing to consider is you're at work to earn money, so it seems a bit silly to be throwing it away as you're sat around earning it.

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.

We have responsibilities that need to be taken care of without complain and they ought to be done swiftly. We work to earn a living in the system, and we also keep schedules that either deprived us of our time to execute other projects, the work man handles is tough, and all these numerous activities is mainly to feed the family and foot into his own bills. Gambling at work doesn't come easy, the gambler in question is making quite enough sacrifice to ensure he stays on the lane of becoming useful to himself at his own end and possibly not get carry away by the intriguing profits generated.

Professional or unprofessional it wont matter. Hard work and focus is something that it is really needed. If you do find yourself that not be able to avoid or cant resist gambling temptation on the
time that you do made up some work then potential problems could really be created and this is something which it isnt really that recommended on doing so since you would really be putting
up your work at risks and this is something that not recommendable.If you can risk on losing your job then its your choice, but to think that there would be no person on their right minds would be doing
so specially if he is totally relying with his monthly paycheck. This is why if you do have that gambling urge then better save it for later.

I'm not sure that would be a great rule for every single job.

In some cases you have a lot of free time in a job, and if you gamble in that time instead of scrolling through social media, I don't think it would make too much of a difference.

But, if you do get addicted and it starts to make your performance at work decrease, then that's another story.

If it were my company, I would rather have an employee that spends time on social media than one that spends time gambling. But there are factors to consider; if the social media is causing depression which leads to reduced performance, I’ll definitely advise you and if there is continuous underperformance then who wouldn’t fire such person. The same with gambling; if the gambling is causing underperformance due to fatigue from a lost game or the anxiety of an ongoing game, I’d address you but if the underperformance continues, you should leave. If you must do either one, let it not show in your assigned role that something of such is wrong.

Yup, though the risk is losing your focus and if too much gambling take place addiction will follow, even you are your own boss doesn't mean that you are free with possible addiction, I think the argument still going to how good you are in controlling yourself to avoid losing your job, but since the post above state that he's just playing for fun and if he can sustain that and not to exceed with his budget he might be safe, a case to case situation I guess.

Apart from losing focus at work, we also have the potential to lose our jobs if our boss finds out about our gambling habits while we are working. The boss will find out sooner or later because there is an assessment for all employees so the boss will get all the reports about his employees' performance. It's not good for us if we lose our jobs because we won't be able to earn any more income, and that will make our lives difficult. No matter how good we are at gambling, it still won't be good if we gamble at work because the workplace is where we work to earn money and we cannot risk losing our job. We can still gamble after we get home and gamble at any time while we are not in the office.

Which is really possible, there should be a division between your gambling and your work, use your spare time outside your work and there's no problem about, just make sure to have the right balance on both your money and time that you'll going to spend, your statement is not by far as there's always an assessment inside your work place and if the boss finds out that you are not performing and you are using your paid time for your gambling you can be cut out from your post.

You need to have that balance, and same with your position having a decent job should be the priority and if you really can't move away from gambling better to find time exclusively which will not affect your paid time inside your work place.

Gambling at work is tolerable if you are working at home. At least when you're working at home you can contain yourself when you lose, you can make yourself at ease because you know that you are in your own safe space. But if it is in office, I think it is hard because your workmates can notice your change of mood, either you are sad or angry, and it much harder to contain yourself because you are in the office. And yes, it can affect your performance. Because of your bad mood, you tend to get lazy and much harder to work.

Well, doesn't this come under the cheating that you are gambling when you are working from home and since you know no one will notice you what you are doing, you are spending the office time in your own personal activity which is wrong. Also i feel that productivity at work from home decreases considerably as people tend to engage in non-office and personal work.

If this is something you feel is right, then why do people do not gamble at work when their colleagues or bosses can notice them? This means that this activity of "gambling at work" is something not seen as a decent activity and therefore people tend to hide it and do not gamble in front of the office staff.

So for me, let's prioritize our work first because it is our source of income. Without work, you have no money, when you have no money, you can't gamble. Gambling is just there for side hustle and for fun. Do not let gambling ruin your work.

This is the perfect reason for a worker not to gamble while working outside your house, you can be noticed by others through the change of mood. Although, you must not have to gamble if you are not in your house essentially when you are working, distractions makes gamblers to lose both the bets they would have won as they are busy with work they will not have the time to gamble on the accurate odd. When you gamble at office you don't only lost the bet but lose many of your clients and trust of other coworkers at your office. When you lose and get sad clients will not have to talk to you perfectly and many who don't leave will not have the number of trust they have for you before, as some people don't like gamble you will not know if the client is a gambler or not and when you are gambling right in front of them you look like someone who's not ready to succeed and not serious for work and they might walk away and maybe never comes back again.

You shouldnt really be that making yourself that too confident that others wont really be making such reaction specially if its your co-worker because sooner or later there's someone who would really be telling your boss that you are playing in working hours on which we know that this is something that shouldnt really be done. So if you do really love your work then it would be wise that
you should really be stopping on playing gambling at working hours. We do have still those vacant times or moments or after work for us to be able to play.
Dont risk your work on something which can be considered to be leisure. Its never been worth on exchange your work for gambling because it would really be making things
even more harder for you specially if you do end up on having no work.

I can hear you clearly, and I appreciate your worry. A sound to wake you up? Im trying to get better at finding the right balance between work and fun. I know that if I dont keep them apart, my job could be in danger. Besides the thrill of gambling at work right now, I want to build a job and a good name for myself. From now on, I will only think about my work. There will be fun things on my calendar, but only when Im not at work. This conversation made goals and their importance clearer. Thanks for promoting good business behaviour.

Gambling at work is tolerable if you are working at home. At least when you're working at home you can contain yourself when you lose, you can make yourself at ease because you know that you are in your own safe space. But if it is in office, I think it is hard because your workmates can notice your change of mood, either you are sad or angry, and it much harder to contain yourself because you are in the office. And yes, it can affect your performance. Because of your bad mood, you tend to get lazy and much harder to work.

So for me, let's prioritize our work first because it is our source of income. Without work, you have no money, when you have no money, you can't gamble. Gambling is just there for side hustle and for fun. Do not let gambling ruin your work.

For me, working from home or working in the office doesn't make much of a difference. Only you will hardly punished for your gambling if you are doing it while working from home.

My advice, if you are working from home, allocate some time, like 7-10 hours for your work, and don't gamble during that time.

Yup, though the risk is losing your focus and if too much gambling take place addiction will follow, even you are your own boss doesn't mean that you are free with possible addiction, I think the argument still going to how good you are in controlling yourself to avoid losing your job, but since the post above state that he's just playing for fun and if he can sustain that and not to exceed with his budget he might be safe, a case to case situation I guess.

Apart from losing focus at work, we also have the potential to lose our jobs if our boss finds out about our gambling habits while we are working. The boss will find out sooner or later because there is an assessment for all employees so the boss will get all the reports about his employees' performance. It's not good for us if we lose our jobs because we won't be able to earn any more income, and that will make our lives difficult. No matter how good we are at gambling, it still won't be good if we gamble at work because the workplace is where we work to earn money and we cannot risk losing our job. We can still gamble after we get home and gamble at any time while we are not in the office.

I'm self-employed now and I gamble sometimes, so I guess that could qualify as gambling at work? Although, I must admit when I worked at my 9-5 job I've never gambled at work.

As to exceeding gambling budget, I always gamble for fun so I only risk with what I can afford to lose. Just my 2c.

It qualifies, but since you are your own boss you are not running the risk of those above you discovering what you are doing, taking it the bad way and fire you on the spot.

However even if this cannot happen to you, there are jobs that require that you are fully concentrated on what you are doing or you could make a costly mistake, so as long as the job you are doing does not require such a condition, I suppose there is nothing wrong with gambling at your job.
