“Words are inefficient relics of the past,” said Google Product Lead Emo G. Face, gesturing wildly at a quarterly projection chart made entirely of ‘Rocket’ icons. “Why write ‘I fundamentally disagree with your strategic direction’ when a single skull emoji conveys the same professional nuance?

The judge overruled me with a ‘Thumbs Down’ and a GIF of a cat falling off a table.”
