Next they’ll say using “good morning” in emails is unprofessional because it assumes people want to be awake

The only people I use them for or use them with me are other women in the office. I would use them all the time if I could, just because they’re so silly. We all could use some more silliness in life.

Emojis aren’t objective professional or unprofessional.

I see. I apologize for my attempt at being friendly. I understand that is not welcome in this workplace. I will case all attempts at being friendly so as to not appear unprofessional in the future. Please accept my deepest, most sincere apology.

☹️

As someone who worked in various professional environments, it’s pretty common to see emojis. That person is just mean.

Lol!!!

I have been known to append :3 to my work emails… Peak professionalism

God some people are so miserable. I would so much rather work a shitty job with good people than an easy job with shitty people 

All of our office sends smiley faces at each other, it’s great.

But what if hes a professional emojer?

It’s 2025, i’ll use smiling emoji’s. Easier to covey emotion via text or emails. Sending them 😊🥲🙃😇😊 chain. Get wrecked Doug.

Ok boomer

The smiley face is absolutely required in this context because you’re ordering someone to do something, but not rudely. There is no way to convey this in written text. You’d have to rewrite the whole sentence and it would become something that wouldn’t be the same as spoken word, which is what most DMs are written in the style of (by people under the age of 60).
