“This experience reinforced the importance of one-on-ones and taught me that as we grow, we need to introduce skip-the-line meetings so employees know they can talk to their boss’s boss.

Fine is something you say when you want to say something else but it's uncomfortable. It's not worth it. Fines don't help anyone grow or develop.
