I remind a new staff member about event, how great it is and of course everyone attending can leave early or WFH if bringing spouse or kids so they can drive together.
I get “noted”
I had to send email to a staff member about working excess remote days and remind he only has permission to WFH on Wed. I got “noted”
It is like responding maybe to a party invite. Not helpful at all.
No. It means "I got your message and I understand what you are saying." That's all. What did you want the person to do? Grovel at your feet?
I sometimes respond with "confirmed" just to let the sender know I received the message if the contents required action on my end, so the sender knows it's going to be done.
Why do you clearly take this so personally?
You should know that a one-word response comes off as rude and dismissive to many people. What’s so hard about typing, “Ok, thanks for the update”?

I use that terminology with my boss's boss. He does not take the time to read long emails. He is straight-forward and does not do exclamation points.
I reply Thanks! to my colleagues.

In the example above, it is just as easy to reply "Thanks!"
Just as easy.
So yeah, the person is trying to be a shithole.

It means you don't have enough responsibilities at work and you need to cut your hours so you don't stir up trouble like this.

It’s passive aggressive and rude. I had a dumb girl working for me that used this often. Thankfully she quickly quit, but not before I started getting her business partners reaching out to me about how rudely she came across to them.

Depends on the person. Tony would mean simply that he read it and has nothing to add. Jason would mean that he is driving and wants to keep the thread going. Kim would mean that she thinks this is nonsense that is not worth her time. Jack would mean that he doesn't understand and is afraid to out his ignorance by saying anything more. Henry thinks your an idiot but he thinks everyone is an idiot.

It means they think they need to acknowledge the email, but don’t think that the email needs to be any more conversational or friendly. I can think of three reasons:
- they just have a blunt email style. this can cause problems in some contexts so you may want to discuss this and how they can err on the side of appearing more polite.
- they are angry at you because of something
- they think YOU have a blunt or rude email style and are giving it back to you.

What the heck does “Noted”mean for an email response?
Example - there is an all staff meeting next week. The reply is “Noted”.
Example you were late two times this week The reply is “Noted”.
