Comment on would it be unprofessional if i used text emojis on corporate or professional settings??

Emoji = picture Emoticon= text

In my experience the only ones that don’t look weird in a work email are:

:) :( ;)

Anything else is going to be seen as weird and superfluous. ^u^ :3 would be a hard no for myself, and I know it would get me weird attention that I wouldn’t want.

This very much depends on your industry, workplace, and coworkers.

  yeah… we’re going to need you to come in on Saturday this week Algo. Somebody has to redo the phone rack this weekend and we took a vote on it and decided you are the only one who can handle it. Good luck ;)

  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 emotions for safety. Maybe this is the same thing that requires people these days to use sarcasm tags.
