How to Address Gaming on Office PCs: Seeking Advice on Professional Boundaries

Reminder to Refrain from Playing Games on Office PCs During Working Hours

Dear Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to address a matter that requires our collective attention. It has come to my notice that there has been a recent increase in the use of office PCs for playing games during working hours.

As a friendly reminder, I would like to emphasize that our office PCs are provided for work-related tasks and projects. Engaging in personal activities such as gaming not only distracts individuals from their responsibilities but also impacts overall productivity.

I kindly request all team members to refrain from playing games on office PCs during working hours. Let us maintain a professional environment where our focus is dedicated to fulfilling our job roles effectively.

Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated. If anyone has concerns or needs assistance, please feel free to approach me directly.

Thank you for your attention to this reminder.

Best regards
[Your Position]

Dear Hanan Moshan,

Who is playing the games on the computer? I mean to say, what is the designation of the employees?

If a few employees are playing games on the computer, then how has it gone unnoticed by the HoD or the Reporting Manager of the employees? Why did they not warn the erring employees?

If the employees have time to play games on the computer, it could indicate that they may not have sufficient work. They have some disposable time. Therefore, the right thing to do is workload analysis and find out who has surplus time.

Rather than volunteering to learn some new skills, if employees prefer spending time playing computer games, it shows that they lack a learning attitude. Therefore, the situation merits promoting a culture of learning. Self-learning is the best means of personal development. Promote the importance of personal development.

You have raised a post for the draft of the memo. However, unless there is clarity on the situation, it would be difficult to provide a draft of the memo. Therefore, provide complete information about what is happening in your company.

Thanks,

Dinesh Divekar
