Short conversational excerpt from a YouTube video about enforcing rules in a small team. Two speakers (A and B) discuss recurring lateness by team members, personal aversion to conflict, and concern that being too nice or a "pushover" will prevent referencing an employment handbook to address the issue. The clip highlights tension between enforcing rules and avoiding 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.
