Have you ever wondered where rules actually come from?

We have sacred guidelines at home, unwritten etiquette when we go out in public, and invisible standards for how we treat other people and stay polite. But then there is the workplace—a whole universe of its own, running on secret, unspoken codes that you won’t find in any employee handbook or contract.

Nobody ever explicitly tells you how long to wait before sending a follow-up email, which mug you definitely shouldn’t use in the breakroom, or the exact art of nodding along in a video call. Yet somehow, we just know we have to follow them.

Where were these workplace traditions born, who decided they were mandatory, and what happens when someone decides to ignore them entirely?

Join us next week as we explore the unwritten rules of work—and life—that nobody ever bothers to write down.
