What's with "As discussed"?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

Corporate email way of saying "I already told you. Are you not listening?"

Or maybe a reminder to actually fulfill the agreed upon contract. But that would assume, he is a lying cheapskate, which is very unrealistic for a CEO...

Meh, I use 'as discussed' when I want to commit something I have discussed over the phone, to email. So there is a paper trail when the thing that was discussed doesn't happen, or gets fucked up somehow.

Ah thanks. Construction guy, ain't an amazing gig but we don't have this particular work pain

It is also a way of alluding to something without stating it in a digital paper trail. Most of the corporate climbers I've known are like this with email. They'll say something on the phone but avoid putting it in email.
