If you work in an office, a clicky poll

Because I need to know what is normal.

I replied "walk away". I think that is normal where I work. Most people always have their doors open here, unless they really need you to leave them alone. If it was urgent, I would knock and wait for an answer. A door that is cracked door, I would always knock, and I think push it a little but not bust in.

90% of the time, I assume they don't want to be bothered and will just email or IM them instead. Unless it is extremely urgent - then I will knock and wait; occassionally I will knock and enter if they ignore me and its super urgent (this has happened like 3x in 6 years)

One of my employees regularly walks into the office when the door is closed - its usually b/c I'm eating, but I have had to yell at her about this a few times since my door doesn't lock and its conceiveable I could be changing or something. But, she has horrendous manners and clips her nails at her desk, so she's a bit of a lost cause anyway.

Like Kathryn 99% of the time I walk away and wait for their door to open, but I will knock if it's urgent, or I have a scheduled meeting with them

The people who have offices here always keep them open unless they are on a long call or in a private meeting. In those cases, there is no point to knocking because I know they are busy.

I always knock and wait for a response. I don't assume the door is shut for some major reason - it's usually just to cut back on noise since there can be a lot of foot traffic in some areas of my building.
