You might want to hold back on using a smiley face in your next work email even if you're trying to come across as sincere according to this new study!
A new study from Tel Aviv University found that workers who frequently use emojis and other graphics in their emails were often seen as less authoritative by their peers or if they had no power in their workplace.
Even though there are over 800 emojis you can currently use on your phone or computer right now, researchers found that they were better-suited for social media than the workplace, especially if you wanted to be taken more seriously at your job.
Obviously, you can you emojis in a workplace chat like on Microsoft Teams or Slack, but if you're sending out a serious email then you might want to just avoid the emoji keyboard completely and use your words instead!
