Often called “office housework,” these responsibilities contribute to the smooth operation of the workplace but go unnoticed when it comes to promotions or pay raises. Fortunately, there are strategies to help you avoid getting stuck with these obligations

Thanks for the reply, I'm still not sure if I would equate overproportional volunteering for a lesser profitable task equates to work "chores".

I would understand if author etc deduced that I meant men where more hesitant to do lesser tasks when woman are around. But I think that speaks more to the power balance issue that specifically work chores.

To me, the article shoe horns a scientific study to match a list of tips that are pretty unrelated. There's space for both discussions but seems to be a strange choice of evidence for the latter.
