Well, donors are not staff for one. They don’t have the responsibility nor the “approval” to be staffing while staff members, who have applied and have been accepted, are on. If you gag someone before I could then I don’t care, bc it’s the same result and it was done right, however no you’re not supposed to really and staff may ask you not to. If you gag someone who didn’t need to be gagged tho, that’s where problems pop up bc I’m going to reverse it and we need to talk about it to see what’s going on. And if you’re gagging someone that the staff member won’t - it really has to be valid beyond doubt. As in the staff member is not doing their job period, not just using discretion different than your own. It’s usually best to let it go and let a higher up know, because going around staff can easily cause you problems, and if we decide you’re wrong it can cost you the donor.
