Avoid emojis in work emails, experts say
AI Generated (Gemini)
Career experts identify key email elements that undermine professional credibility. Excessive exclamation marks can seem juvenile, while emojis and emoticons risk misinterpretation across cultures and generations. Casual language like 'hey' signals immaturity, and overuse of reply-all functions appears inconsiderate. Humour and sarcasm should be avoided as they translate poorly in written communication, potentially damaging workplace relationships.
