Jeffrey 3:11

Jeffrey 3:24
Oh, I hate that.
Michael Easter 3:25
That's even worse than the reply all. No, that's like, you saw it, we're good to go. Everybody needs a good thumb once in a while. It's fine.

Alex English 3:48
Uh-oh, that's a sad face emoji. Yeah, our bosses take us so seriously.
Michael Easter 3:51

Mmm.
Michael Easter 4:01
Fun, yes, but incompetent.

How do emojis affect communication in the workplace?

Michael Easter 4:06
Like you can't write a sentence with the meaning being clear without using them. Plain text still comes across as being the most professional, but researchers also found the number one emoji you should never send in a work message.
