Chinese employee fired for OK emoji reply to boss on WeChat

Emojis have always been used to convey a point or add character to a text message.

An employee has been fired from a bar in Changsha, central China, after replying to her manager with an OK emoji on instant messaging app WeChat.

The manager tagged the employee in the team’s WeChat group last week, asking her to send over some meeting documents, and took issue with her response.
