So if friend emails or texts you hey want to go out for drinks you responded “noted”

Do you not understand the difference between a question that requires an answer or a statement of fact that you want to acknowledge?

How do these people even get jobs ugh.

It is very different though. “Noted” makes your sound like a jerk.

I say this often, I never knew it was a pet peeve.

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

Now that you see that many folks take it as "screw off" are you going to consider changing to "Thanks!" or "Got it!" ??

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? [/quote.

In both emails I still have no answer. Are you going baseball game? Are you going to stop WFH on non approved days?





Well, if you wanted answers to questions you didn't ask, you should have asked the questions. You extolled the benefits of the baseball game, you didn't ask whether they would attend.

Different context.

Yes, when do you want to meet up?

or

No, this week is not good. How about next Thursday?

Eff that. I'm not typing out a 3 paragraph response to your email moving the inspection date to June 22. So, I say noted.

+1 mostly see this with HR or kind of mass requests for a reply (meal preference, whether you plan to stay at the hotel for the off-site, etc).

Appreciate getting an acknowledgement and don't need the person to be gushing with excitement.

I think for 90% of people it basically means “yeah I hear you, now screw off cus I don’t care.” Not something appropriate to send to a boss or client.

The other 10% are just people who are curt (and probably busy), and they neither mean offense nor would they take offense at receiving it. But even still should be reserved for internal comms with your staff—nothing out or up, unless you *really* know the recipient and are on the same side.

It's a standard reply for some people, acknowledging your email. I think it comes off rude but I try not to think so.

I worked with someone who would verbally answer with, "Understood," which drove me crazy and is similar.

I also hate when people write, "Please advise," at the end of an email. Just ask the question you want answered.

And no, a person doesn't have too much time on their hands if they notice these things when you have a job which includes reading, writing and answering a lot of emails.
