StaceyPowers Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 I used to work in an office where we played UT 2004 sometimes. It did mean work took longer and we went home later, but it was also a lot of fun. Do any of you play video games at work with your co-workers?

killamch89 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 At my previous job, we used to play Fifa 21 on lunch breaks and when work was almost finished and it was time to go home. It was a pretty good stress reliever to be fair and it also proved that my Fifa skills didn't wane after all these years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syntax Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I've played a few with co-workers during breaks, or even as a way to refresh on the job (Among Us). But nothing too major with like consoles or anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shole Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Well I am not sure if you can call it a game, I played the "Can you tell if I am working or not game" where I would finish work really quick and see how fast my other colleges would figure out that I finished and I was looking at memes or games. Usually it took them 2h to ask me if I am done. I got fired, but not due to that, but due to them cutting the budget and reducing the teams.

Yeah, some people are really good at acting like they are doing something throughout the day to seem they work hard, and others can finish fast and get chided for sitting down for a minute.

It was really easy, now I can't play on my current job(Basketball Coach) but when I was a PPC Marketing Team meber, I would finish my work by 10 am and had to find things to do until 3 pm :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny enough that was the exact game we played with my co-workers. One day we stayed late and just played through the night. It was 2008 or 2009 I think. My current co-workers are not big gamers unfortunately. But then again, there aren'T many new games that would be fun to play with friends, most don't even have lan multiplayer.

Kane99 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 At my last in real world job, I worked at a call center. They had tvs and a board game room, but you only got like 15 minutes a break, and didn't get many of those either. So I never got to really do much of anything but use the bathroom and eat. Anyway, I think it'd be cool to play games at work. Especially if it's like an office job and it's just a bunch of people from work hanging out. It helps build relationships. That's the kind of work I'd like to be involved in one day lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Mostly mobile games now a days. And the thing is that video games during the off hours are pretty much requirement now considering a lot of us have the free time due to this pandemic.

Peterlight Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 I did tell my boss to create a game room in the office for us to use during the break hour, but he took it the other way and now he is keeping his eye on me.lol, dumbest idea ever.

Heatman Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I actually used to play video games at work but specifically with my smartphone and to my greatest surprise my boss caught me on camera 📹. I was handed 2 weeks suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor1911 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Well, I play solitaire sometimes which is installed with windows OS by default. We don't have a good recreation area in the office, mostly we pass the break time by watching TV or gossiping. 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if I have seen such workers privilege before in any place that I had worked in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We guys stick to our football gist and discussions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
