The least professional client email signature I've ever come across was from a CEO of a tech startup. His signature was just his name followed by a list of his favorite emojis. I'm not sure what he was thinking. Maybe he thought it would make him seem more relatable and down to earth.

I am not generalizing that this is how it is everywhere but it definitely is that way in my workplace. Any advice?
