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.
- During my time as an employee, I never had that experience. Furthermore, if you are an employee and insist on gambling online, it will greatly distract you and you will be unable to focus completely on your work. The worst case scenario is that if your superior catches you, you may be sacked from your work.
Of course, if that happens, you'll have an even bigger problem because, in addition to not having a job, you'll also lose a motivation to gamble. If you have a normal mentality, you will put your gambling where it belongs and not allow it interfere with your work, right?
