“Accidental destruction of property not through misuse” should have a two-tier action, one for self-admission (Level 0), one for not reporting (Level 1?).
From a Laser perspective, non-reporting is the worst offense. Why? Unreported damage…regardless of whether its cause is misuse or wear-and-tear…can lead to safety issues, even more damage (which sets up a vicious cycle of more safety issues and more cost), and always eats up enormous amounts of a volunteer’s time to track down the culprit on the camera feed. @Team_Laser needs to save its limited hours for fixing things, not replaying cameras. Costly on multiple fronts.
To my knowledge, Laser has not taken disciplinary action on anyone who has self-reported any offense. We don’t want someone to so fear punishment that they choose the Stay Quiet Option - which is, to repeat, way too costly. But keep quiet and we find you…that’s a whole different thing. We’ll invalidate all your training, Thunder and Zing. Tell Stan to pull your certification from the AD so you can’t log onto our computers. You can then re-take the classes, when you can find an opening that suits your schedule. Or we’ll substitute helping on Maintenance Day.
EDIT (from @Bill): “Plus not putting a sign on a broken machine may lead to other members wasting time and/or material. Not excellent.”
