> internal debate had erupted over the discovery of a noose emoji
I think I wouldn't survive 5 minutes in (big) corporate world. Perhaps it's because I'm entering the forties, but I imagine the amount of straight-face, holding-my-thoughts and tiptoeing required in order to not getting fired would wear me out in an instant.
- rejectedandsad 5y agoIt sounds like this shouldn’t be up for debate, having a noose as part of the default reaction set is a little inappropriate
- axiosgunnar 5y agoThis is absolutely up for debate and I refuse to allow somebody to dictate me what kind of sarcasm I am allowed to use in private conversations with close work buddies.
- addicted 5y agoAnd no one is dictating what sarcasm you employ in private conversations. Whereas companies have always restricted what sort of language you use within company property. For example, until very recently, just using emojis could have been a firing offense.

- toomuchtodo 5y agoI recommend a private Slack team (or similar, a Signal group works too) for out of band communications with colleagues you trust. Keep corporate communications to only what’s necessary to get work done.
- lmilcin 5y agoIt was not long ago when on a meeting you could use a finger to shoot yourself in the head or act as if you were hanging on a noose to visualize how bored you are with the meeting. There never was any harmful thoughts attached to it. Can you, just for the sake of curiosity, state your age?
