What does the staff emoji mean?

When the mods are actually doing their job, or maybe just breaking things.

In Discord and Slack communities, it is frequently used to signal that a moderator is present, a channel is under construction, or that someone is 'fixing' a situation. It serves as a playful way to acknowledge the 'staff' or the technical work happening behind the scenes.
