I know that it depends heavily on the context so let's use an example here. If someone writes "thank you so much for helping with XYZ work" and the receiver reacts with a heart emoji on it. Is the use of the emoji unprofessional here? Curious to see if different genders would perceive it differently. #culture #workplace TC: 360
I think it's totally normal if you have a good casual rapport with your team. If you're purely work acquaintances that don't talk to each other about non work things that's a bit weird.
My org slack has some really professional emojis :shits_busted: :talk_shit_get_hit: :fuckyeah: :fucktammy: :somethings_fucky: :it_means_shes_a_maybe_you_fucking_walnut: I’d love to know the story behind the last one.
Facebook Workplace posts get tons of heart reactions and I’d think it’s pretty normal regardless of gender.
For these type of replies I just use Teams auto generated replies.
There is this emoji called meow-blob-heart that I like to use for this type of thing. It’s a little cat blob holding a heart. It might just be me, but I think it comes across better as an “oh I love this” or “thanks you’re the best!” Type of emoji without accidentally seeming romantic.
It might be worse and I’m just oblivious though lol
Haha i know that one. Honestly can't tell if it's more or less "accidentally romantic"
Depends on the context. In the DMs? Very inappropriate.
I had this at my previous company. A female colleague would frequently drop heart reactions on my direct message responses to her. She was not subtle, at all. Combine that with invites to go hiking with her alone and dinner + board games at her house. At one point she asked for my address to "mail me a present". Very cringey 😬 I felt very bad for her and her situation. It wasn't an issue, but if the roles were reversed and a guy was doing that, it would not go over well.
And a law suit, article in Bloomberg and tending on LinkedIn
Yeah, exactly @GoldmanSachs
