I'm with you there, and it gets even worse when a company has their own emojis with a completely obscure meaning that is somehow expected to be understood. Like for some reason people in my company reply to messages sent out of the context of the channel with an emoji of the pokemon Charmander breathing fire (:charangry:). My own subtle form of protest is to use random emojis that really don't have any meaning. A personal favorite is :shallow_pan_of_food:.
