Topic: Who among you here is gambling at work? - page 17. (Read 7586 times)

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.

The problem of losing focus at work will become a problem for them if they continue to gamble. That would likely cause bigger problems because if they were caught gambling while working, their boss would not like it, which could get them fired. That is the biggest risk that the company will take, but if the company only gives a warning letter, he is still lucky because he is still allowed to work at the company but must be able to stop gambling while working. And yes, it can also have a negative impact on their emotions, where whatever results they get from gambling can make their emotions increase. But losing focus at work will be a problem they face.

If we are at work, we forget gambling for a moment and focus on doing our work to complete it well. We can return to gambling in another place or when we have returned home so that we will not be disturbed by gambling.

It is true that gambling at work, especially in the office, will definitely affect your mind because your mind is not only focused on gambling but also remains focused on your work.

Yes, you are right, even though our work is not too busy, that is no reason why we can gamble during work hours. Maybe it's not done regularly, but still, this kind of behavior can give rise to negative thoughts from colleagues who see their gambling activities. or it could even have a bad impact on his career. it's better to anticipate now by not doing it. on holidays or after work. The important thing is that it's not working time and it's safe enough.
Nobody forbids us from gambling, but we also have to know the ethics of gambling. it's all for the common good.

As wise gamblers, we have to know what is the main priority and what is just entertainment. And gambling is a form of entertainment, so it's not a top priority. Working and ensuring the welfare of our families and ourselves is the most important thing and must be a priority for us. However, there are quite a few people who are willing to abandon their families and give up their jobs to be able to gamble freely. And they will realize this when their situation starts to decline, where their family no longer cares about them, they lose their job and they have difficulty finding a new job because they have lost the trust of other people.

Therefore, never underestimate the problems that exist within us, by always gambling during working hours, it proves that we are getting closer to feeling addicted to gambling. and proves that we don't have good self-control.

You cant put your own job at risks just because you are really that really wanting badly to gamble on which i dont see the point or having that kind of choice. Gambling while at work is never been that recommended or something that you would really be needing to have control. This is why it would really be that wise that you should really be allocating such time for gambling which it would really be just that good on your vacant time or simply you are really that in your own home. This is which the best approach that you could have if you do really like to gamble.
Dont make yourself having that kind of confidence that you could play up everytime because when you do have that kind of approach then you are really that putting up yourself at risks.

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.

I was working at a construction company, I used to gamble only when we are on break at 12 noon and I only have 30 minutes for that so I can resume work and I don't allow the time to elapse before i go back to work.

It sounds like someone who prioritise gambling on their work responsibilities may be struggling with addition. When gambling starts to negatively impact important aspects of life, like work, it's sign that it has become a problem. Gambling can definitely have a negative on work performance, it's important to find a balance and make sure our actions don't negatively impact on personal and professional lives.

It is true that gambling at work, especially in the office, will definitely affect your mind because your mind is not only focused on gambling but also remains focused on your work. This is not recommended if someone works under pressure because it is better not to do things that are In the end it's detrimental to yourself. Yes, it's better to gamble when you get home and do it in your room so that you are free to do it and more relaxed, especially when you can focus on gambling so you can get the opportunity to make a profit. If you do it at the office, it's not impossible that you won't be able to get this opportunity because you can't focus completely.

If you have your own business, it's up to you whether you want to gamble or not because you are the boss, but if you work as an employee, it's better to obey the rules that are already available, namely working hours, we have to keep working, not play games. And it's true, as you said, when we work as employees, there will definitely be people who like and don't like it. If there are people who don't like us and we make mistakes, then that person will reported it to the boss who can ultimately fire us, so don't ever gamble when you're work.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
