Adding a cake emoji to "Happy Birthday" in Slack is nicer than plain text. Younger-staffed start-ups will use emoji alongside "oops", frustration, and/or celebratory statements.
- pinot 9y agoI've definitely had older sales-type people text me using emojis. It's very "hey fellow kids" and I'm 32. The business in discussion are often multi-million contracts. I would never use texts in the first place with vendors outside of "running late"-type communications.
