Emoji are fine, but I hate when people follow every other word with one. You know the type: every “I see” is followed by 👀, they can’t mention a house without 🏠, and God hello you if they start talking about their pet, because there’s more pictures of animals, hearts, and stars than words.
I worked with someone once who would write the most condescending chat messages and finish them off with a smiley face. I think he truly didn’t understand that the smiley made it worse. Regardless of the lack of social awareness, his superiority complex was annoying.
In this case, her expectation was that she receive whole paragraphs (with positivity if possible) for comments on her slide deck, rather than a short comment with my suggestion to make stuff better.
She’s the dumbass who asked a technical editor to review her stuff 🤷♀️ 😀 😀
(and before anyone points out my grammatical/punctuation errors above: it’s early and idgaf)
It sounds like you just don’t understand how brilliant you coworker was. You should probably look into effective communication methods and/or go back to school. Maybe if you weren’t so closed minded, you could learn something. 🙂
Weird … I was told the exact same thing by my boss.
So I stopped using emojis, and then she told me that my messages were “passive-aggressive” or “rude”
And I told her that’s why people use emojis, to add the nuance that is missing because we aren’t communicating face-to-face 🤷♀️

I exclusively only use smileys sarcastically in work emails to shitty managers. He knew.
lol I would want to punch that person, too

Icelander? Could just be a cultural tone.
No, a Californian

/s in case it wasn’t obvious
Without the smiley face I’m annoyed enough… with it just gives me an image I want to punch 🫠
