I use emoji in my work emails.
okay but in your work emails do you say "for fuck sake," or "for fucks' sake?" It's an important distinction so that you sound professional.
I say, "for fuck's sake" so they know they're dealing with my last one if they're paying attention.
What's the MLA standard these days?
It's the only way to show that you are a true professional. 🥇
Not all ways of viewing email supports emoji J
Gotta use emoticons instead :)

I as well tend to use them in a bit more professional situations as well.
I want to show off as a relaxed person who doesn't take even work that seriously!
on my résumé I substitute the bullet points with emojis to ensure I stand out from other applicants, and so the hiring managers know what a pleasant fun person I am.
