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?

Banks and financial institutions have their own rules, because the employees who work in banks or financial institutions are mainly focused on money. Therefore, such rules are mentioned that the employees will stay away from gambling, so no bank employee will automatically be able to come into contact with gambling. But that officer was definitely involved in gambling, which is why he was fired from his job, because the bank pays them wages to manage the bank's money.
However, in the end, the verdict goes in favor of the bank in court, and here that bank employee is definitely guilty, because he was busy gambling. However, this will be a lesson for all gamblers, because if you work in banks or financial institutions, you must stay away from gambling because it can disrupt the work of the bank.

every businesses has their own rules but prohibiting their employees to be involved in gambling is definitely cannot be watched over time because like now that Online gambling is truly rampant in which players can hide their activities without anyone knowing their actions.

But this thread has served its topic and I think this is the time for locking , thanks for all who participated in this discussion , very appreciated .
