Negotiables (Nice to haves)
Studio culture guidelines for nice-to-have behaviors and expectations
Everyone [does not] have to do everything.
Updating the spreadsheet, but help me out.
New business, but same.
Do all of your dishes. I think it's okay to leave a dish every now and then, just as long as you balance it out later. I call this 'dish karma.'
Show up at the same time every day, but within a ~30 minute window would be nice.
No interrupting. Granted, I'm not good at this one, but when everyone isn't an active talker it's not an effective way of communicating.
Bringing your best self. We can't expect everyone to be 100% every day, but we can try. Similarly: non-negotiable would be to speak up when you're not 100%. Keep outside out.
Being vulnerable. I think it makes sense to be open and to show our wounds in some regards, but it's work and we don't need to require vulnerability at the sacrifice of comfort. Similarly, while I think being uncomfortable can lead to great work, it's unrealistic to expect each other to be uncomfortable all the time and it's not really healthy either.
Take risks. Same as above.
PMA! Can't do it all the time, but we can try.
Working on weekends. We should actively avoid this, but sometimes it can't be helped.
Similarly, working late.
Staying for drinks, although a few would be nice.
Prioritize learning new things, new experiences, over what we already know. (The exception being if time or money is of the essence, and we must work within the known to accomplish our goals.)
