Don't be a dick.
This is the golden rule of Schiffs law. It does not suppose you must love your neighbor, or treat others as you would be treated. What it means is to avoid counterproductive efforts that serve your own ego or baser emotions instead of being primarily interested in accomplishing things.
Dicks are more concerned with being right than getting to the right answer.
A dick will argue with someone who they know is right because they're afraid of appearing inferior.
Dicks hold grudges.
A dick is the person who calls out an individual in the middle of a forty person conference call.
Long copy lists for an antagonistic email are one of the dicks weapons of choice.
Dicks are outranged and angry about non problems. Dicks do all the talking and never want to listen.
Everyone is a dick sometimes. Its part of being human. So remember this law, and be less of a dick, starting today.
