Pros and cons

What we like

  • 5x5 inch wooden box sign with a small desk footprint
  • Deadpan phrase recognized in project management and IT
  • Engraved text, not a sticker
  • Fits a cubicle or home-office shelf

What may bother

  • The inside joke only lands with someone in an office job
  • A single phrase with no other use
  • At 5x5 inches it is too small to read from across a room

Our verdict

82 / 100

Send this to the coworker who has said the phrase out loud. It costs little, takes up almost no room and gets a laugh. Do not give it to a boss who might take it as a comment on their own process.

Best forA coworker who appreciates deadpan office humor
Avoid ifSkip it for someone who has never worked in an office, since the joke needs that context.
