Office team group rules
Rules for a team group at work. They respect people's time and keep work messages away from midnight.
*Group rules*
1. This group is for work updates of this team only.
2. Working hours for messages: 9 am to 7 pm on working days. Urgent matters by phone call.
3. Put the subject in the first line. One topic, one message.
4. No replies of "ok", "done" and "noted" unless you are asked to confirm.
5. No confidential files, salaries or customer data here. Use the official system.
6. No forwards, jokes or festival images. Wishes are welcome in one line.
7. Disagree with the idea, not with the person. Feedback on performance is given in private.
8. People on leave need not reply. Do not tag them.
9. When you leave the team, the admin will remove you. It is not personal.
How to use these rules
- Copy the rules and change any line that does not fit your group.
- Post them in the group and pin the message, so that it stays at the top.
- Put the one-line version in the group description. Ready lines are on the descriptions page.
- When a rule is broken, remind the person privately first. See how to be a good admin.
