In this episode of Alli From Corporate, we sat down with Siri Chilazi and discussed the invisible rules that run the workplace: norms. Not the handbook policies or HR trainings—but the things no one tells you, like whether it’s okay to disagree with your boss, or if you’re “supposed” to wait to be offered a promotion.

We’ll cover:

• Why clear norms matter more than policies
• How fairness becomes a culture—not just a value
• What it means to be a "norm entrepreneur" at work
• How to correct false perceptions about what’s “normal”
• And how small actions (by you!) can shift company culture

Whether you're a manager, job seeker, or someone just trying to survive office life, this episode will help you decode the hidden rules—and maybe even start rewriting them.
