Why wasn't the lead tech fired?  After one bad hole he should have taken
over on the drill. He essentially taught the other guy it's okay to keep
missing the target and repeatedly cause damage in the process.

When I was training others, they didn't get to drill on high-dollar
potential for mishaps.  I let them make their mistakes on shitty houses
that an extra hole or two could be repaired or unnoticed.  That means no
tile, or berber loop carpet above at first.

The new guy might still be salvageable, given proper training.  In a
case like that, I don't see where the trainee can be blamed.  The guy on
top should have stopped after the first hole and do some measuring and
finish it off himself (and taken responsibility for the damage).
