I can load games onto my computer here, but then I would be setting a bad example for my employees. I don’t want them spending the day playing games so I refrain from doing the same. I trust that many of them would be capable of playing in moderation and only during times where the workload is light. However, some would abuse the privilege and it would only be taken away.
Then there is the responsibility of discipline in the work place. If I allowed others to play games when their work was done, I couldn’t discipline those who played games even when there work isn’t done. Then it comes to a situation of various workloads leading to favoritism. Eventually that would lead to my dismissal as the root cause. So, I practice what I preach and set an example for my employees.
