‘Farmville Got Me Fired!’ – How a guy got fired playing Farmville
Posted by JackApr 5
Game can be addictive sometime and sometime you just can’t stop playing. I remember having to login at work to lauch my troop in tribal war so the troop will arrive at the same time my allies sent them. (note that’s not on my current job at least …) Or waking up durring the night in King of Chaos so I could use my cash so nobody would steal it. It seem that someone have done even worse, playing farmville during a town council. You can read some more of it here
It’s not the first time that we hear these kind of story, WoW was probably one of the game that really mess up poeple, like on this forum thread :
"World of Warcraft stole a year of my life and ironically got me fired from Gamestop. It will take over your life, and just one month ago, I got out of the addiction." -PsiRedEye22
There even employer that instruct there recruiter to screen any world of warcraft player. ok it was just on recruiter if you dig up a little but still should you have to tell your playing online game to your employer. Here the original article at f13.net. The thread point out that online game might have the reversed effect, it might actually help you to get a job like here or that it help you learn about leadership and project management skill (more here).
Did some of you got the same problem ? Tell us your story.
