[Your Company’s] AYNTK Handbook

This is our handbook. We call it our AYNTK [“aintik”] Handbook and it’s All You Need To Know to succeed at [Your Company]. 

We are [Your Company]. We are here to be as commercially successful as possible. We are a B2C / B2B company trading widgets. We are a company that pushes ourselves and embraces technology to try and achieve the best results. We're different and we like it that way. Being different allows us to progress and do what few others do and it makes work more interesting. 

If you're looking for a traditional employee handbook filled with policies and rules, that’s a concern. Policies and rules tell you where the bottom is - they tell you how poorly you can perform before you get shown the door. That's not for us.
