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.

I don’t know about such laws in banking system, first time i heard it, whatever is it laws only apply in south korea or other many countries?, in workplace such activities is really worst, because normally people’s take gambling as negatively, so we should keep it secret. Since I don't know about the laws of that country, i can't say whether there is such punishment due to gambling in office hours.

As far as I know, not only does the government not allow gambling, but the people of the land of kimchi also have a very negative view of gambling. So I was not surprised by this news and even thought that this was a pretty light punishment for an employee caught gambling at work. South Korea is a pretty crypto-friendly country but very strict on gambling, so this guy's firing has nothing to do with crypto but gambling.

Not to mention, banking is an extremely sensitive field because it involves people's money, what if he is addicted to gambling and steals the bank's money to gamble? In my opinion, this guy deserves to be fired.
