WAY·NIK Works' 21 “Gentlemanly Codes” of working with one another
Are you willing and able to honor the following Gentlemanly Codes?
(If not, we probably won't be a good fit.)
01
Morals & Ethics
You will remain an honest and truthful person, a loyal friend, a down-to-earth leader, and an all-around damn good human being.
02
Accountability
You will never shirk your responsibilities, point the finger, or pass the buck.
03
Delivering Bad News
Furthermore, you will always deliver any unpleasant news yourself.
04
Decorum
You will dress appropriately for a wedding or funeral.
05
Zoom Meetings
That said, wearing pants during Zoom meetings is optional (just don’t stand up).
06
Banishing Ad Speak
You will forever banish ad-speak from your vocabulary (i.e., best service, lowest prices, widest selection, the highest integrity, etc.)
07
Confidence
You will be completely comfortable in your own skin.
08
Never Hold Back
You will rock out to AC/DC whenever one of their songs plays in our presence.
09
Let's Agree Upfront
Stevie Nicks is both a rock goddess and a national treasure.
10
Patience
You will be a patient person who believes the best things come to those who wait.
11
Nostalgia
When you think back to the 1960s, 1970s, or 1980s, you will admit to feeling a little nostalgic.
12
Word is Bond
Your word will be your bond, and you will always pay your debts.
13
Be Wise Enough to Know
You will never for a minute believe that Google ever once honored its former motto, “Don’t be evil.”
14
He Can't Possibly be Human
Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, is most certainly a cyborg.
15
Consider Both Sides
You will maintain your cool and promise to weigh both sides of an issue.
16
Never Caught Dead
You will never own a minivan. (If you have previously owned a minivan, you promise to keep it a well-guarded secret. If you currently own a minivan, you promise to sell it immediately on eBay or Craigslist. Your choice.)
17
A Straightup Sin
You will declare “stretchy” denim a sin against humanity and campaign for it to be permanently outlawed.
18
A Fashion Faux Pas
You will consider Crocs to be an unforgivable fashion faux pas and promise to unfriend anyone wearing them.
19
Embrace Nonconformity
You will regularly march to the beat of your own drum and promise to be comfortable coloring outside the lines.
20
Be Loyal & Exceptional
You vow to be a loyal member of your company's team and to strive to be an exceptional operator.
21
Not Easily Offended
You will have found NOTHING objectionable or unreasonable when reading these gentlemanly codes.
