DESKMATE – THE NICE WAY TO SAY “GO AWAY”
Do coworkers keep interrupting your work by continually asking you questions, requesting help, and chatting you up? We know the feeling! We all need to get the job done, so we've created DeskMate Signs to help you playfully say what needs to be said to those pesky coworkers.
These 24 playful, yet direct phrases let you tell people to kindly "GO AWAY," or C'MON IN." Both sides of the signs have printed sayings, so your coworkers will be able to get the message, loud and clear, from all angles.
As a special feature, you can write on the back panel with a dry-erase marker (not included), to let your colleagues know when you’ll return.
24 SIGNS – PICK THE PERFECT MESSAGE
DeskMate’s 24 signs let you pick the perfect message for any occasion, and are organized into three categories:
COME IN: 5 signs that signal your coworkers when you’re open and available to chat or have an impromptu meeting.
I’M BUSY: 14 direct, yet friendly signs that let colleagues know you’re concentrating, on a lengthy call, or in need of some quiet.
I’M AWAY: 5 signs that let your team know whether you’ll be away from your desk for an extended period, or if you'll be returning shortly.

I got this for my boss because she kept making "do not disturb" signs with folded scrap paper and it was driving me nuts. She loves all the options and uses just about all of them(except for the slightly cheekier ones that might get her in trouble with upper management. 😆)

Everybody that passes my desk comments on this & asks where I got it. I love it!

Overall great for the purpose, good quality. Stand is sturdy. I'm in a cubicle farm with tall walls, so I wanted my coworkers to be able to see when I'm in, or busy, or on a call, or need focus. Notably it is missing "Gone for the day" and the OOO sign is missing a place to put a return date. Also don't have an "IN" sign-- "Welcome!" seems more like a receptionist and "Let's chat!" is definitely wrong for just indicating you are here. It does have a "dry erase" page for you to write your own message, so I guess you could do it there. Some of the messages are either unclear or aren't quite perfect for a very professional office. For example, the yoga person image on the soothing background makes me think the status is relaxed and open for visits, but the wording is "don't ruin my focus"-- I think from across the room it would be misunderstood. And the "L8R" message in yellow and black is pretty forceful-- inappropriate in a formal office. But, I'm able to indicate when I'm on a call, DND, OOO, or at lunch, so I'm happy. I use the "I'm here somewhere" page more than I expected, for body breaks and when I'm heating up my lunch.

Love this little sign! I’m working on being more assertive in my workplace, and this sign is a fun way to create boundaries without feeling like I’m totally out of my comfort zone. It’s especially nice when I’m working from home. My office mates all enjoy seeing what my sign is flipped to.

I recently got a promotion, and there are no offices left for me to move into, so I'm still stuck at my cubicle.I've made attempts to print and post multiple gently worded signs in my workspace to discourage distractions.Nothing worked - they were noticed, but ignored.This sign set works so wonderfully - the design is concise and while most of the messages are a liiiittle too snarky for my workplace, I can use a good 5 or 6 to convey just what I need to.

Favorite things ever especially if you’re in a communal work space. Sadly no one reads it or pays attention and STILL bother me when it clearly says “On a deadline” ... !! Lol. And no one brings me chocolate when the sign says “I can help just being chocolate.” Product is great, people just don’t read! Hahaha. The signs have been more of comedic relief and cause for people to stop at my desk to say how neat and cool this product is. 🤷♀️🤦♀️

StoryIt's common courtesy at my work place to place a sign when you go on break. I used a very simple piece of paper I printed to display when I'm off to lunch. One day I decided I would look for a sign that's a bit more professional looking, and stumbled across this. I really didn't think I would end up getting something that has so many signs, but there was an appeal to having them for when I was available, away or on break.Strengths+ Has signs for when your (Available, away, busy, on vacation)+ I'm out sign is great for allowing co-workers some way to contact you while your away while also informing them of when you will return+ Alot of variety in signs that have their own visual appeal+ Some of the signs can be really funnyWeaknesses- The signs are on the small side (Would be great if each sign was size of a normal piece of paper)- Some of the signs are a tad too unprofessional to use unfortunately (Don't go away mad, just go away being one example)ConclusionOverall, it's a pretty good sign for the desk, while there is room for improvement especially in the size department, I'm quite happy with it. So are my co-workers, since they know when I'm able to help them with any problems they are having.

Its cool. Funny for co-workers to read at my desk. Kinda pricey for such a small lil thing though.
