Summary

Millennials are now considered real adults and need to adapt to new emoji trends driven by Gen Z on TikTok, which they can incorporate into their workplace communication. To express themselves in a more youthful way, they can use emojis like 💀 and 😭 to signify laughter or sarcasm, with examples from ThisInterestsMe.com showing how these emojis can be used. Emphasizing things with sparkles ✨ is also a trend, as seen at Zapier, where employees use it to add a touch of humor to their work messages. The pen emoji 💡 can be used to summarize lessons or sarcastically contradict them, while the 👁️👄👁 combination is used to express acceptance at an undesirable outcome. To stay up-to-date with these trends, millennials can use Alfred text replacers and workflows to automate their emoji usage, making work more fun and engaging.
