Subpages of Bureaucratic Etiquette

Rules of Engagement

Rule 1: Always arrive at exactly 9:47 AM for meetings. Any deviation from this precise timing will be met with severe disapproval.

Rule 2: Never use Comic Sans in any official capacity. We're a respectable institution, for goodness' sake.

Avoid eye contact with coworkers, especially those in positions of power. It's just safer that way.
