The practical stuff. Boring on purpose. Knowing it means you spend less time hunting Slack threads and more time shipping.

Presence and AFK
When you are out, late, or changing plans: post in Slack #afk. That is the team signal.
Weekdays you also get an office check-in DM (WFO / WFH / Late) for the next workday. Answer it; change your mind later if you need to. The home page Today band reflects presence, who is out, and celebrations — open Home first when you want "what is true today."
How the pieces fit: Guides · Presence & tomorrow’s plan.
Time off
Request leave and track balances on Time off. Natural language works (“sick tomorrow”). Full how-to: Guides · Time off. Ask early; do not ghost.
Devices and assets
Company gear lives in Inventory. Request what you need through the portal; do not improvise a shadow IT pile. How: Guides · Request gear.
Team and who to ask
Team is names, roles, and profiles. Complete your own profile (photo, phone, channels) — Guides · Your profile. Manager first for career and week-one goals; peers for product and craft.
Shortcuts
Go-links are short URLs the team shares (go/whatever). Sharable is the shared-links feed. Prefer go-links when something will be reused — Guides · Go-links.
⌘K
Command palette for search, people, expenses, and jumps. Guides · ⌘K.
Brand kit
Marks and logos: Logos. Wallpaper and desktop: Desktop. Email signature: Signature. Stay on brand without hunting a drive.
Office expenses
Stationery, snacks, misc — log what you paid from ⌘K. See Guides · Office expenses.
When in doubt
- Ask your manager.
- Re-read Our principles.
- Ship the next right step.
The Redbook will not answer every edge case. People and principles will.
