Introducing New Here: Office Etiquette

New Here is HBR’s new podcast for young professionals who want to build a meaningful career on their own terms. Host Elainy Mata explores the ups and downs of an early career, with help from career experts and friends. In this episode, Elainy and comedian Sarah Cooper break down the unwritten rules around to how to behave in a new job—otherwise known as office etiquette.

You may know Sarah for her viral lip-syncing TikToks during the pandemic. But before that, she worked as a designer at big tech companies. She explains how she learned the invisible rules of work early in her career, why they matter, and which rules she thinks you can bend. They discuss the etiquette of email writing, how to handle yourself in meetings, and why listening is so important at work.
