      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.

        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.
