Episode 125: Saying No to Office Housework

Women, and particularly women of color, get lumbered with most of the office housework. Stuff like ordering lunch, clearing up after a meeting, or sending out meeting notes. But office housework is also the unexciting stuff organizations need to get done - necessary, humdrum tasks that won't burnish your resume. Women disproportionately take on those tasks. In this show I speak with journalist Ruchika Tulshyan about what women can do to push back on office housework, while treading the ever-fine line between deference and standing up for themselves.
