Employers are specifically instructing managers to not send them World of Warcraft players. It’s believed, and with good cause, that WoW players cannot give 100 percent to their job because their focus is elsewhere, their sleeping patterns are often not great and varied other factors that play into diminished performance abilities.

I can’t say I blame them.

I know a man who is 40+ years old and was recently placed on 2 weeks suspension, AGAIN, for not showing up to work on time or simply not showing up at all as the result of gaming instead of sleeping.

If your teen has addictive gaming tendencies, you might want to get a grip on that before they get any older. They may just end up becoming a long term liability that won’t leave home rather than a productive taxpayer and fellow citizen.
