    Am I the only one who sends GIFs in work chats?

    I mean I won’t send one to a VP but I can send them to peers, supervisors, managers, department heads. No issues.

    Hell people throw down happy Monday memes around.

      I worked at a mid sized company, we used slack and used gifs and memes and had thousands of custom emojis uploaded.

      Got purchased by a mega Corp, now use Teams, we’ve been slowly corrupting them with smileys, memes, gifs, etc. It’s been good.

        Same thing happened to us but we’ve completed the corruption already.

        Important meetings are meme/gif free but daily meetings and team chats are fully corrupted. It’s more of a work culture thing. Less stuffy.

          Yeah it’s been a couple years now and it’s clear we’re won lol. Our last town hall had a game where you spam gifs in the chat :P would have been unthinkable a couple years ago. They literally had gifs turned off before we got there.

        I’m afraid I’m about to go through this exact same thing. Company currently uses Slack, with hundreds of custom emojis and our own shitposting channel. We got bought out by a massive international conglomerate several months ago, and ultimately the plan is to move everything over to Microsoft, which is what they use throughout their organization.

          Teams has improved a lot in the past couple years since I was forced to move over, and Microsoft power automate is legitimately really powerful if you’re interested in automation.

          Good luck with the corporate culture though, it really sucks.
