“As discussed” means your people don’t trust your lying ass. You bet I’m gonna send you an email with all the shit you want me to do, but can’t be bothered to send me in a clear traceable email.
What I find funny is competitors offering 50% more, while knowing you will be joining without knowing their internal intricacies, yet the current employer doesn’t want to match it even though you are already well versed in their systems. So, as discussed, pay me 50% more or I go.
it’s not asking for a 50% raise… it’s giving you the opportunity to retain talent and knowledge for the same rate as a competitor has offered
Never take the counter offer though. Take the new gig. If your employer didn’t value you they arent going to suddenly start. They are just buying time to find a replacement.
I’m sure someone will fill the need to tell me of the 1% times it works out but in general it’s almost always better to take the new gig.
What’s with “As discussed”?
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…
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.
