I use them sparingly, usually as the last resort before heading down the disciplinary path with a particularly troubling employee. And I'd like to add one more point, about one of my pet peeves: start your meetings on time. People who are habitually late will eventually catch on that your meetings start on time. And it's really rude to punish the folks who showed up on time by making them wait for the late arrivals.
