New rules of work

Employees pay attention: The New Rules of Work are that decaf has been criminalised... and other workplace truths and absurdities.

Creative studio Division of Labor have conceptualised a series of cheeky, retro-inspired posters for the workplace.

The “New Rules of Work” posters remind one that in a working environment “nothing good comes from hitting ‘reply all’”, that “if it’s really funny it’s probably harassment” and that you should “think before printing and sleeping with co-workers”.

Ideal for the modern workplace, the limited-edition posters are letterpressed on card stock and available here.

Division of Labor never really set out to sell the posters. They made them for their own amusement, hung them in the window of their studio and pretty soon had people coming in to ask where they can purchase the posters.

New rules then, it seems, are in order.
