Am I the only one who sends GIFs in work chats?
I mean I won’t send one to a VP but I can send them to peers, supervisors, managers, department heads. No issues.
Hell people throw down happy Monday memes around.
GIFs are just about the best thing about moving from Skype to Teams for work. I think if they took them from us there’d be an uproar tbh.
Microsoft bought giphy I think so they know what’s up. That’s why they got a GIF button now.
I can’t find anywhere that says Microsoft has owned Giphy.
Meta bought giphy. I got it twisted
I worked at a mid sized company, we used slack and used gifs and memes and had thousands of custom emojis uploaded.
Got purchased by a mega Corp, now use Teams, we’ve been slowly corrupting them with smileys, memes, gifs, etc. It’s been good.
Same thing happened to us but we’ve completed the corruption already.
Important meetings are meme/gif free but daily meetings and team chats are fully corrupted. It’s more of a work culture thing. Less stuffy.
Yeah it’s been a couple years now and it’s clear we’re won lol. Our last town hall had a game where you spam gifs in the chat :P would have been unthinkable a couple years ago. They literally had gifs turned off before we got there.
I’m afraid I’m about to go through this exact same thing. Company currently uses Slack, with hundreds of custom emojis and our own shitposting channel. We got bought out by a massive international conglomerate several months ago, and ultimately the plan is to move everything over to Microsoft, which is what they use throughout their organization.
You can add custom emojis in teams now 🙂
Teams has improved a lot in the past couple years since I was forced to move over, and Microsoft power automate is legitimately really powerful if you’re interested in automation.
Good luck with the corporate culture though, it really sucks.
Amateurs, I share scat porn on slack.
I wish you were not gonna lie my coworkers are not my friends and I don’t want to see their memes or other goofy business, I left a group message the other day because someone replied to something I said with a gif I find it rude in a professional setting.
I use memes when appropriate with the right people.
I helped out a peer and they thanked me. Thumbs up gif.
Someone closed out a tough ticket. Congrats gif.
I finished a tough ticket. Frodo its done in group chat.
Servers are down. No memes. How can I help.
Sadly some people don’t have good social etiquette. But I use my memes and people like it.
Well, it’s good that you left the group chat then. That’s a win win. You don’t have to see GIFs and they don’t have to deal with a huge pessimist.
It’s not pessimistic to not want to be involved with coworkers in an unprofessional manner, i said a form of communication was inappropriate for text messaging instead of an email because it was too long and some turd sends a GIF back of some guy going pshh flapping his hand off in my mind he’s an unprofessional jackass.
if I’m working I’m not there to see your stupid bullshit I’m there to make money and go back to my own stupid bullshit.
Well some of us can have some fun while working.
