I know someone who lost his job as a result of playing games during work hours and he was found out and sacked. I've heard something like this in this forum. The man was simply playing games during working hours and his boss found out and axed him. That's pathetic, such kind of person is still having regressive kind of mentality.

I hate to sound like a corporate stooge here but in all seriousness, if your at work and it's during your work hours then: We all like gaming and I'm sure many of us would rather be doing it then our jobs but gaming is an indulgence, responsibilities come first.

Yeah, working hours are mainly for work and not for mix activities with gaming and the rest. During leisure time especially on break we can game small since we can use it for refreshment too.

Even if it's during your launch time, it will breed suspicion that you do it even during work hours. It will simply be better to shut down any sort of thing called gaming during the work time to avoid distraction and keep the mind free and secure your job from losing it due to sarcastic circumstances that may result from gaming in the office.

Personally, I wouldn't blame the boss for any reason whatsoever for firing the stupid staff who uses his own time for his personal issues and still want to use his boss office time for playing games too.

He should pray to secure a new job in order to cope with the current world hardship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their is no need crying over spilled milk is gone is gone. He should learn from his mistake, and never to repeat it when second chance pop-ups, so he wouldn't suffer rest of his life.

Boblee Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 When you are work break and need a game that can help you to relax and wind down time before your shift resumes, these games can be very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Gaming isn't advisable for one in the workplace to consider, due to its distractions. Even operating a mobile phone in the school premises where I am a student is a distraction, that's why I operate after school activities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boblee Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 It's true that games can be a distraction, in fact I believe that it's built for such purposes to take one away from reality and help one to cool off. Once you are playing when you're supposed to be, it's not a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Some people just don't know when they are supposed to be doing what they are doing or to stop. It's just the case of my friend who got sacked as a result of not being careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boblee Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 There was a thing with stealth games that makes them so addictive. I played the game Hitman 3 at work one time and almost got carried away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask @Heatman to tell you the story that got his friend receiving a matching orders as an employee just because if video games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
