    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.

      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.

        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.

        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.
