If crypto wasn't involved, do you think this employee would have gotten fired?
yes of course… banks and financial institutions have strict policies against gambling since they handle money, and it’s generally against their rules. Plus, it’s pretty unethical...employees are paid to focus on their job, so work hours should be for company tasks only, no personal activities mixed in. Employees have handbooks for a reason, and if it says that gambling during work hours could lead to termination, then the employee really can’t do anything about it. This guy even took it to court, thinking he could dodge the illegal dismissal, but nope, he still lost. It’s definitely a lesson for everyone.
We actually had a thread here before about gambling at work. A lot of users admitted to it, though I’m not sure if anyone ever got caught.
Who among you here is gambling at work?
