The Recurse Center&#x27;s social rules are really well thought-out. After I learned about them, I started to see how people who violate the &quot;no feigning surprise&quot; rule can make team members feel excluded and belittled, often unintentionally. This includes myself, and have since changed my behavior.<p>I feel the &quot;social rules&quot; are quite valuable both inside and outside the workplace. I wish more employers and groups practiced them: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.recurse.com&#x2F;manual#sec-environment" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.recurse.com&#x2F;manual#sec-environment</a>
