In South Korea, A bank employee was found to be playing online games that use crypto as its in game currency. The bank claimed that the employee is a habitual gambler and fired him from his job. The ex-employee naturally raised his concern to HR as he thinks it is unfair dismissal but the HR rejected his appeal which led him to file a lawsuit. In the end, even the court sided with the bank. Even though the ex-employee claims that he never played during work hours and that his habits did not interfere with his work quality, the court rules it to be undignified to be gambling with crypto.

If crypto wasn't involved, do you think this employee would have gotten fired?

- Frankly speaking, crypto gambling has nothing to do with whether the person was fired from their job, because in reality, it was also the employee's negligence because he did not properly manage his passion for playing online casinos while he was at work.

Then of course the bank company reported against their employee, so the advantage is really on the company's side not on the employee.
Hopefully that was just a lesson to the ex-employee.

The lesson here is that no employee who has started a new job should ever tell any of his colleagues at the new place of work that he has any cryptocurrency and that he is into gambling. And especially not the employer. And even if at the new job his new colleagues start discussing issues of the crypto industry and gambling, then simply do not participate in this conversation or avoid direct questions on this topic.

Here is the employee about whom this whole topic is, if he had observed such information secrecy and safety, then no one would have fired him.

It is better to keep your own confidentiality to yourself if you do not want to cause harm, this can be a real lesson, where words can reflect who we are and not sharing information that should not be spread is the best choice

However, to do this, you must first have the appropriate character.
And not such that all colleagues would consider their colleague a secretive and silent person, from whom it is generally impossible to find out a single word about his life or his views. It is quite difficult for such secretive people to work in a team. And such people still cause some rejection in the team. But you can’t be a chatterbox either, this is also not good enough for a team of colleagues to accept such a person as smart enough and to communicate comfortably with him. There is still some average range of personality characteristics in terms of what information about themselves a person can afford to share with their colleagues.
Obviously, information about a passion for cryptocurrencies or gambling clearly refers to almost forbidden information that clearly should not be shared with colleagues at work. Without a doubt, a reasonable person should not do this.
