The Career Rx Podcast for Doctors
Business:Careers
Do you volunteer for tasks at work that aren’t your responsibility, to the detriment of your success? Are you spending too much time on things that simply won’t get you the recognition or promotion you deserve?
If you feel like you’re getting stuck with unimportant tasks at work, or your major projects don’t seem to be of value to your colleagues, boss, or organization, this episode is for you.
In this episode of The Career Rx we’ll discuss:
Today we’re going to be talking about administrative tasks, emotional labor, and gender role expectations that comprise “office housework”. As you learn more, consider whether you may be perpetuating the impact of this on your own career.
In this episode I'm going to give you examples of non-promotable tasks, explain how completing more than your fair share can hurt your career, and what control you have over the office housework expected of you.
