Sounds like my old boss at Interior (now HHS). One of her other reports sometimes used it (someone not noted for politeness). She had to ask him what it meant, then started using it too. 😂.

Yeah I'm pretty sure the people who are noting (haha) how this is construed and changing will make it much further in their careers than the ones digging and saying "I can't help how you interpret my (short, rude) response."

I think it’s often rude but fine in some circumstances. Like “Can you make a note to circle back with me on this next month?” “Noted.” That’s fine. I think “Will do” “Thanks for the info” or “Understood” often comes off a little better, depending on circumstances.

It is polite shorthand for "noted and will be ignored". Do not expect any change.

Agreed. It's the equivalent of someone responding to a text with "K".

I use like "10-4". Heard, received, understood. I don't think it's dismissive or anything. Honestly, if someone thinks it's dismissive it sounds like they are the type of person who replies with too many !!!! and

The intelligent people on this thread know it's fine and don't associate weird drama with it. Some posters seem to take this extremely personally for unknown reasons. I used noted/confirmed and no one has ever complained! And I work closely with my colleagues and there's certainly no change in demeanor.

when I go to my work event this week if anyone asks if my one staff is attending I will tell them they replied Noted.

I know why she did it as she is afraid to say no. Like a maybe response on an evite.

Personally if I get a cc or heads email up I just don’t respond.

Someone at work emailed a few of us they have some seats open at an industry conference if anyone wants to go. I did not reply but noted what does that mean?

Coworker my dad died yesterday. Me: Noted

You're either incredibly dense or a troll. Next time you want an RSVP, ask for one. No one can read your mind. And please, go ahead and play your games and enjoy the door hitting you on the way out.
