always follow your boss’s example.

generally speaking, I’d leave the emojis out. for one thing, there’s people who don’t know what they mean, or they maybe will just read into it wrong because they hate you. I remember sending an email to a coworker when I came back from a vacation and the general gist of it was “thanks for helping [this annoying client],” literally just a quick email to thank them and let them know that I was back. Yeah. with the way they went screaming to the boss, you’d have thought I told them to go fuck themselves with a rusty holedigger.
