I worked with someone once who would write the most condescending chat messages and finish them off with a smiley face. I think he truly didn’t understand that the smiley made it worse. Regardless of the lack of social awareness, his superiority complex was annoying.
I exclusively only use smileys sarcastically in work emails to shitty managers. He knew.
lol I would want to punch that person, too
In this case, her expectation was that she receive whole paragraphs (with positivity if possible) for comments on her slide deck, rather than a short comment with my suggestion to make stuff better.
She’s the dumbass who asked a technical editor to review her stuff 🤷♀️ 😀 😀
(and before anyone points out my grammatical/punctuation errors above: it’s early and idgaf)
It sounds like you just don’t understand how brilliant you coworker was. You should probably look into effective communication methods and/or go back to school. Maybe if you weren’t so closed minded, you could learn something. 🙂
/s in case it wasn’t obvious
Without the smiley face I’m annoyed enough… with it just gives me an image I want to punch 🫠
Icelander? Could just be a cultural tone.
No, a Californian
