like, let’s say i’m talking to my boss or a coworker through email!! and i type those emojis, like “u” or “:3” (those text emojis), would that be considered a bad idea?? i would use them because i would want people to know how i’m feeling through text and also because i think not using text emojis feels a bit empty, it maybe even makes the message sound rude or angry!! but i could not use emojis if it’s not a good thing
Nah GTFO of here with that. I’ll follow my bosses lead, and wink. Context is everything of course, but if your workplace is so toxic that a winking emoticon sets off drama then I really feel sorry for you.
Quite the opposite, my workplace is pretty fun and we definitely don’t need to couch jokes in emoticons for safety. Maybe this is the same thing that requires people these days to use sarcasm tags.
