I generally use emojis in Slack (never in email) to prevent the awkward back and forth that arises from confirmations/thank you's that continue a thread that should have already stopped.
My top three are:
I love using emojis and GIFs.
My all-time favorites are ✨💪🤔 and all GIFs from The Office :)
I've replaced 👍 with ✔️ due to several encounters of 'passive aggressive' responses with thumbs up emoji before 😅
Also, I prefer using custom emojis over standard ones and the best of all so far is using 'Jack thanks' to say thank you
I'm late to the party, but here are my most used! Emoji's are fun and necessary!
😊😄🥳 My favourite 😄😄
😂 [捂脸]👌
:sunglasses: :notes: :star-struck:
🙏 - as a gesture of thanks. I think it works on so many levels.
😜 - as I need to remind people I am “never knowingly sensible”
🫡 - “aye aye captain” when anyone asks me to do something
(bonus round: 👀 to signify I have seen & read the message)
Yeah heah!
My favorite emojis are 😁, 🌚 and 😪
Happy World Emoji Day Everyone.
