How this index is organized

Occasions split two ways. The workplace set covers the moments that happen because of a job — someone leaves, someone is promoted, someone finishes a long stretch of service. The milestone set covers the ones that happen to a person and reach work sideways, which is why the wording has to travel further: you may be writing to a colleague about something entirely outside the office.

Inside an occasion, every message is filed by who is receiving it and by tone. The recipient matters more than people expect. Writing to someone who reports to you is a different act from writing to the person you report to: one carries the weight of an assessment whether you intend it or not, and the other is read for what it might be angling for. Same news, two different notes.

A recipient earns its own page at 8 messages, and an occasion earns one at 20. Below that there is no page — the messages are still here, inside the occasion, they simply do not get a URL of their own until there are enough of them to be worth the trip. Counts on this page are live, so an occasion still filling up shows exactly how far along it is.
