Everyone can remind anyone in the company about these guidelines. If there is a disagreement about the interpretations, the discussion can be escalated to more people within the company without repercussions. If you are unhappy with anything (your duties, your colleague, your boss, your salary, your location, your computer) please let your manager, or the CEO, know as soon as you realize it. We want to solve problems while they are small.
Make a conscious effort to recognize the constraints of others within the team. For example, sales is hard because you are dependent on another organization, and development is hard because you have to preserve the ability to quickly improve the product in the future.
MUI has a zero-tolerance policy regarding our standards as described above.
Anti-discrimination and harassment policy
Always prefer async communication over sync communication. Sync communication is costly, and interrupts peoples’ thought processes and productive execution - that being said, sometimes it is indeed necessary to have a sync interaction, just make sure it is for the right reasons.
When using Slack or similar, try to communicate as much as possible in channels that everyone can access rather than private channels, whenever that can be avoided. We prime visibility and open dialog.
Always communicate openly whenever possible. As we scale, this is a vital best practice, closeted opaque discussion removes the ability of other team members to collaborate. This is driven by our transparency value.
So if the conversation doesn’t need to be private, discussions should not happen privately. Where possible, create a document or a GitHub issue, a notion page first, and then start the discussion.
If you use emails include a Google group. If you use Slack avoid DM’s.
