Cool, and then let's make it harassment to ignore the instructions in somebodies user manual (not just ignoring their pronoun preference), so everybody has to learn the user manual of all their colleagues by heart.

The corporate language is a turn off. If we are dealing with human problems, the sterile corporate speak isn't going to get us to a solution.
Can you point to specific examples? This is very much a living document, always looking for ways to improve it.
Title editorialized. Original title is "How to work with me". To quote dang from 12 hours ago: > It's against the HN guidelines to editorialize titles like this. Please see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html : "Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize."
I don't think the average person knows themselves well enough to write a user manual, myself included. This is an idealized version of how he thinks about himself. Reality could be very different.
I'd be much more interested in a guide written by his wife or parents.
To me, it seems a little condescending to be told how to act toward someone. On some level it is helpful to know your teammates, but on the other hand it can come across as self centered, like you think you're special and require special instructions for interacting with. I'm sure you have good intentions in creating this, but if someone gave this to me I would instantly thing "oh man this person is going to be high…

On the other hand, it's likely that this personal resumé of sorts will be another layer of buzzwords and prattle to muck through as composing one evolves from a discovery process to a status competition.
Let's stick to business cards, shall we?
I just don't think that's a very good idea. Not because I think you wrote anything wrong (you didn't), but that's just not how interpersonal relationships work.
Sorry, dude.

What you have written is actually a list of demands.
Not likes. Not tendencies. Not polite requests. Not values you hope to share with others by meeting them half way, possibly clumsily but with good faith.
Demands.
There is no social context in which a document like this is appropriate.
