I ready another thread about backsies on a resignation and it stood out to me that there was contention about a direct reports speaking to the grandboss first.

To me this is a sign that either the person wanted some support/advice before going to their boss, or just a situation where someone feels safe to open up to the grandboss.

I like the idea of a structure where people aren’t scared of their grandboss or managers don’t fear direct reports talking to their own boss?

(I don’t mean when they go to our boss to get us in trouble or intentionally circumvent with ill intent)
