Depends on context. Last week I used thanks for all your help and emoji smiling to someone in response to them being pedantic and unnecessarily copying every line manager.
Rolling eyes is now seen as aggressive at work

If I was sending a heated e-mail to someone then I’d never say Kind Regards.
'As per my previous emails' gets used a bit.

Another one of those stories where people get in a “world’s gone mad” tiz about non-existent grievances - with the presumption that civilisation is doomed. You can set your watch to them.
I must live in a parallel universe to the one inhabited by most because I get emails signed off “Regards” or “Thanks” multiple times a day and nobody gives a fuck. If you visibly roll your eyes in a meeting you will probably look like a **** but… again… nobody gives a fuck.
People are more precious about the perception of others being precious than there are actually people acting precious in the first place.
The roll your eyes thing was a training some random company delivered to the civil service. A total waste of money, obviously (what’s new there)… but are this handful of trainers now suddenly the authority on all human interaction in the whole country? No they’re a bunch of chancers trying to justify people spending thousands of pounds on them.
I think I’m going to need to see slightly better evidence of society’s moral turpitude before I jump on this particular bandwagon.

I had a supervision recently and an allegation / grievance had been raised against me. I referred to the person who accused me as a ****. Maybe I should have just rolled my eyes to express my disgust. Is a loud tut acceptable in the workplace still?
