I'll just start sending dick pics to acknowledge that I received your message but it doesn't need an actual reply. -- nm - Dano Oct 12, 13:30

Then tell Teams to take it away as a response option (and the red heart, too. -- nm - Dark Callisto Oct 12, 13:13 7
- To modernize the whole thing, we should switch to memes like Crying Jordan and Leo Champagne. -- nm - David Oct 12, 13:14 6
  - I'm waiting for the day of the discussion about why so many memes that white people use are of black people. - ty97 Oct 12, 13:19 4

        I laughed so hard. -- nm - Dark Callisto Oct 12, 13:36
    - I try to be inclusive (though only if it's with a positive meme). - Dark Callisto Oct 12, 13:28
  - To be fair, I'm totally a meme responder in Teams. -- nm - Dark Callisto Oct 12, 13:14
Credit to them for making an entire article based on one 24 year old person's reddit post though -- nm - ty97 Oct 12, 13:09 5
- They also recycled a summary of work email etiquette that's been around since the 90s. -- nm - Roger More Oct 12, 13:15
- Seriously. This stuff drives me insane. -- nm - David Oct 12, 13:13 2
  - It's the Daily Mail so I just expect it. - ty97 Oct 12, 13:18 1
    - 👍 the Daily Mail. -- nm* - znufrii, official Gen-Xer Oct 12, 13:18
- heh -- nm - mud Oct 12, 13:10
Might want to harden up a bit against that one - Reagen Oct 12, 13:09 11
- I'm not an emoji guy but I find 'thumbs up' a life-saver on Microsoft Teams when I need to acknowledge something -- nm - Roger More Oct 12, 13:11 10
  - this. saying "ok" or "yes" to agree seems blunt somehow. -- nm - Andie Oct 12, 13:22 4
    - "ok" comes across as someone who is dejected and not telling you that it's really not okay but they're biting their tongue for now -- nm - Max Oct 12, 14:24
    - And going with the software-generated "Great, thanks!" just seems insincere -- nm - Roger More Oct 12, 13:34 1
      - Yes! Or it suggests some damn message without punctuation. -- nm - Dark Callisto Oct 12, 13:37
    - how about 'kay or yonh -- nm - mud Oct 12, 13:31
  - This is our process for when someone says "last call" the thumbs up reactions tell the person we're all ready to go. -- nm - Max Oct 12, 13:15
  - SEE? -- nm - Dark Callisto Oct 12, 13:13
  - RUDE -- nm - ty97 Oct 12, 13:13
  - 👀 -- nm - Beryllium Oct 12, 13:12 1
    - And also physically, when I'm in a remote discussion on camera and don't want to unmute -- nm - Roger More Oct 12, 13:16
Jennifer Lawrence OK gif -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 12, 13:08
