@RaceProUK Toby Faire, I had the same reaction when I figured out that someone could "like" an email message in Outlook 365.

"Professional" is generally not what these companies are aiming for.

@RaceProUK Is that on Google Hangouts? Also, who is this person? I mean, in relation to you - is it a recruiter or something?

Email.
@blek said in Because emoji are professional now:

Some guy who works for Code Climate.
@blek said in Because emoji are professional now:

Never heard of him before that email.
-
@RaceProUK It's just that you mention professionalism in the thread title, so I wanted to know how severe it was. Emojis are completely unacceptable in human to human interaction at all, but there are multiple degrees of unacceptability.

So, they're just fine on TDWTF.

So by multiple, you mean 'one'?

No idea: didn't bother reading the email.

"up" your "bottom"?

Doesn't Spanish feature a upside-down punctuation at beginning or end or something? @jarry?

@Zecc said in Because emoji are professional now:

I would guess that it means, "I agree with your disagreement (with someone's previous statement)." However, given the present context, it probably has no more meaning than any other click-bait subject.

?I think the French do.
Germans as well, but we switched their meaning. » can be used as an opening quote, and « is the corresponding closing quote.

With all those critters around, it was a waste of money.
True story: a friend was having rodent problems with their car (in the driveway). Solution? Park it closer to the street - where the cats are.

I'd quite like a "dislike" button on emails. Would save me a few replies.

Is the cat worried? Is the malt safe?

Set up the Exchange settings so emails have a yes and no vote by default?

Someone at Microsoft, apparently.
It doesn't seem to affect the actual email chain any, since I never see any evidence of when it happens when using an theoretical mail client (Outlook 2010), but it does track them somehow, since they'll show up when using the O365 web interface.
It is, indeed, utterly stupid.
-
@Polygeekery I have been tempted to set up a Slack for my team so that I don't have to have people walking over to my desk all the time, but that would probably get me hella fired should IT get wind of it (since we do have an IM client that nobody likes to use, since it's Lync)
-
@e4tmyl33t We have Microsoft Teams.
Everyone uses email.
