Would it be bad if I got this for my desk? How do I signal “DND” when I’m in the office ? Tired of people popping up on me and disturbing my flow

Hahah, I WISH! I need this for my desk, too. But sadly, it just comes along with the job. I don't want to appear like I'm not there to help. I just hold it in until 5pm hits and do some deep breathing on the drive home.

😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 I feel you!

😂 I love this and would snag one if I didn't already worry about being considered anti-social and passive aggressive. There really isn't any easy way to keep people from pestering you in the office. I keep my headphones in 90% of the day and still have coworkers popping in to ask me questions that could have just as easily been asked via email.

Hate that. They need to respect the headphones

You can’t, unfortunately. Welcome to RTO. 💀

🤧🤧 damn would they really get offended though?

HAHAH oh my gosh I hadn't seen this before but I really want to get one for my office. I have the same problem at my company and it can be extremely frustrating. Sometimes I just need to not be bothered so I an get something done.

😂😂😂😂 What do you do when you get bothered all the time??

Can someone help me understand how backdoor Roth works in my situation?

I contribute the $19.5K max to a 401K each year. Would backdoor Roth be (A) the ability to roll $6K of that $19.5K into a Roth? or (B) an incremental $6K that I could contribute to a separate IRA then backdoor into a Roth?

Asked another way, does backdoor Roth allow me to actually contribute $25.5K each year, or does it just allow $6K of my $19.5K contribution to build in a Roth?

Thanks!
