Inappropriate Relationship with a Resident A staff member allegedly purchased an automobile from a resident. This is clearly inappropriate and gives at least the appearance of bribery, even if the staff member paid full value for the automobile. This promotes disrespect for the staff member as well as the program as a whole. If residents see small rules being broken, they will feel free to engage in more serious behavior. Staff must enforce all rules, not just the ones that they see as important or critical.
Serous misconduct tends to occur when compromises have been made in minor situations.
