Naturally, when an employer finds out that an employee is a gambler or at least just a lover of gambling, this immediately becomes something akin to a black mark in the employee's work biography. This is especially true if the employer simply did not know about this employee's hobby until some point and suddenly accidentally or through a denunciation from other employees found out about it. The attitude of course ml to instantly change most negatively, this in turn entails increased control over the employee by his superiors. But the results of the control may just show that the employee has insufficient or reduced labor productivity. And this, of course, is a very compelling argument for the superiors to fire such an employee.
Yeah, it can be seen as a negative impact to some employers.
The thing is that though, in some employments it might be a bit irrelevant.
I think only in the cases where the employee has access to cash or other valuables would be needed to have no history of problem gambling .
In such cases, especially when accessing money specifically, it is obvious that the message and information about the employee's passion for gambling causes concern for the employer. But not only in this case. Usually, it is important for the employer that the employee is as busy as possible with his main job and thinks as little as possible about his other affairs during working hours. But thoughts about gambling are precisely those thoughts that greatly affect the employee.
As a result, his productivity may decrease.
And this is also another consequence of the fact that the employer learns about the employee's passion for gambling. The attitude towards such an employee may immediately change in a negative direction.
