Short transcript excerpt from a YouTube video ("The Struggle with Enforcing Rules in a Small Team") in which two speakers discuss avoiding conflict, repeated lateness by team members, and the speaker's concern about being too lenient or a "pushover." They mention that an employment handbook may help, but express fear of referencing it to avoid causing contention.

I shy away a.
Lot from conflict, and I try to avoid it as much as possible.
We had a late problem again, Like.
I don't like conflict.
So, like, hey.
Can we stop doing this? And then they'd be late, again, stop doing this. And I'm like, too nice about it, too.
So I think that employment handbook is going to help. But because I can be a pushover, I am afraid I'm going to be afraid to reference that just because I don't want to cause contention.
