Is it OK to use emojis and xD in work emails? I don't want my tone to come across as too serious or like I'm angry like "OK." would imply. I want to say "OK :thumbs up:" but is that bad?

The OK sign has been designated as a white nationalist symbol by the ADL. You don't want me to report you to jewman resources, do you?

Use words and punctuation.

"Ok, no problem!"

Don't use emojis.

doesnt matter what you end writting
once the mail is sent you will loathe all the words in it

But won't an "!" come across as too eager? How is that worse than a thumbs up.

Nobody wants your childish shit in a work email. Send the information, or ask the question, get the fuck over it, Anxiety Boy. Nobody literally cares, and you're setting yourself up for a meeting with a fat HR chick if your dumbass emojis are misinterpreted.
Just respond with "okay, sounds great" and get the fuck over it.

Never use emojis at work unless the other person uses them first. And even then..

It's work, you're supposed to be serious. If anything using fucking emojis when trying to explain a concept is fucking stupid. If you really want to be autistic about it and NEED an answer find some way to get your point across without using emojis or acronyms like wtf, lol, rofl, lmao, etc.

Example; some dumb bimbo asks you how to turn her computer on:

Dumb bimbo:
>omg like my computer won't work properly i had to use stacy's computer to send you this!!!!!
You (a presumably responsible non-minority):
>Why yes, it appears you're fucking retarded and didn't push the power button.
Retard with nice tits:
>omg thank you it's working now!!!!!

This is where you have one of two options. You can either respond in kind with an emoji or you may do what a normal sane (and non autistic) person would do. Your response:
>Glad it worked out for you
or
>Sounds good
or
>Fantastic, have a good day
Maybe even
>we'll bang okay

dude just attach eggplant emoji in every email, and maybe even in you footer

Senior Retard from 4chan

if HR comes at you , just act like you don't know the meaning of it, act suprised, you probably look like you don't eat vegetables anyways, so tell them you thought it was a surf board, and make this stupid sign with your hand like surfers do.

This thread is why I don't want a job. Why can't we just be ourselves and drop these stupid monkey games?

I sometimes try to sneak in utterly unrelated emojis like the weird sign ones or a black granny. It's the little things that get you through the day

i agree that emojis aren't work for for the most part, but i must admit i like to add in a smiley emoji at the end of some emails just to drive the 'im being friendly/cordial' vibe home

>> No.15743289

the only acceptable emoji in a work email (not with customers) is :) and I wouldn't even use it in most cases

You honestly can if you work at a non-clown company. Most non-FAANG non-webdev places have pretty chill people there, as long as you're not just outright yelling "nigger" across the office you should be fine.

It's not as bad as people make it out here. I would say though that it's weirder if you do it via email as opposed to an IM or Slack type of thing

Get on my level. I use meme arrows instead of bullet points on work emails. I tried them on my resume but then it just didn't look right.

I don't use emojis at work, I think it's silly and the only users I see using emojis are women

I would ultimately say it depends on the audience. Is this joblow from IT? He doesn’t care. Are there 100 ccs where someone might care? Is it upper management? If so, keep it professional.
