Reply to comment by bungocheese in NP employees found using town equipment on mayor’s private property by Rogue-Island-Pirate

Ya but.

Treating the state’s/company’s equipment like your own personal property is a slippery slope so it’s usually not allowed at all.

I don’t take my company’s laminator home. Same thing.

Have you ever made personal photocopies on a work copier? It's fairly common to have one at home now, but it wasn't. I'll bet a lot of people my age have. I even borrowed a hand truck from work once when I was moving. I got permission, but I'm not sure the warehouse guy who gave me permission really had the ability to speak for the company.

It's not the right thing to do. But I agree with the other guy that it's not quite the crime of the century material. Tell them not to do that anymore and move on.

Someone driving a town truck and using mowing equipment is a much bigger risk than you using your private companies copier. The town gets sued a lot if that employee hits someone with the truck off the clock. Especially if it was okayed by bosses.

The guys just wanted to make a few extra bucks. So what? If they were clocked in then that would be a problem.

yeah I get the gist, I just can't force myself to take this as seriously as these reporters are trying to force the narrative.
