Planet Money · The laws of the office revisited · 11 Mar 2026 podcast

So Alice, I know that typically your job deals with very important global political high stakes issues.

But would you mind talking to me about the fact that no one at my office washes dishes?

Shoot.

Is it okay?

People in our office are leaving dirty dishes in the sink all the time.

And so my idea was like, what if we worked with the office manager to put up posters that didn't say, hey, you should do dishes.

What if instead they said, hey, did you know everybody else does the dishes a bunch?

But one thing that really helped was when supervisors started awarding a trophy for people's work.

There wasn't even money attached.

It was just a trophy.

You're saying I should make an amazing dishwashing trophy.

Is that what you're saying?

I 100% can expense a dishwashing trophy for this story.

Those are your laws of the office, folks.

And once more, we have turned them into a wonderful poster.

If you Google OSHA safety poster, that's what it looks like.

Because we don't have a place for you to Google our poster.

But you can see what it would look like.

And again, this is part of our book, Planet Money, a guide to the hidden forces that shape your life.

If you pre-order the book before April 7th, you get the poster as a free gift, as a thank you for pre-ordering the book.
