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?

Nah the employee will still get a sanction in the first place it's a work environment there's no activity other than work-related and those playing gambling at work is for sure against the ethics, another thing is possible that guys already had a history to their work so the HR doesn't tolerate at all any kind of appeal, we know how does the gambling might affect a persons capability and we can give our possible insights but still its company discretion. Even though it's not a crypto involved possible still have a penalty well it seems a worst scenario experience by the employee because its an immediate termination. Lesson learned make it place your gambling habit.

So what we exactly we have learned from that story? To follow anonymous way of life, be silent about everything you do and suspicious to everything. Who knows what will be the reason to fire you next time. That is an absurd and will cause paranoia. One again, he was not fired for bad performance at work, for not doing his duties, nor anything connected about his work in bank. He was fired because he gambled and played crypto game. This means that company might fire employee because they have different point of view. Next time it will turn that my HR add flakes first in bowl, than pour milk, and fire me because I first add milk, wait for it to be room temperature and then add cornflakes.
