That would be hilarious if she actually said that
TheStarvingAutist
I had to say stuff like this all the time to avoid blame from clients for their screw ups. "I told you this, not my fault!"
ThrobbingElection
I love it when I get an email from someone saying "per my last email" and pointing out how it was in fact not included in their last email.
TheSupremeCrabMaster
"Per my last email..." = "since y'all muhfuckas clearly have reading comprehension issues..."
SternoTesticularLigament
I’d put up these two with Stacey abrams against any trio GOPs
MaximumWesker
That's often just a CYA move, along with "as we discussed earlier". I gave you this info weeks ago, don't blame me cuz you didn't read it

Been on vacation this week and it was a joy to see other people cutting+pasting from my previous e-mails to answer folks' questions. lol.
ForTheBestReally
if its in the header its agressive, if its in the body it could go either way depending on context.
BestJackalope
I just copy+paste my last email, but with bigger font, and highlighted.
jelladelta
It's corporate talk for "DID I FUCKING STUTTER?"
JEMbalaya
For some reason just the word "per" makes me shudder with rage
And the last person to use it on me was this week "per the document I sent before" and I screenshotted the document showing the info I neede
Needed wasn't there and got a "oh that's odd, your copy of the doc is missing it"
nietzchebomb
She’s not wrong.

I take it to the next level. Not only do I put “per my last email” I also attach said email and include “(see attached)”.
textilelover
I'm envisioning tiny pink/purple skull flowers cascading down a stone retaining wall now. (per your username)
bourbonandbaddecisions
I used it so often I was told to stop using it. I now use “in reference to our last correspondence”
AntikytheraMechanism31415
My favourite is forwarding my email to them that they have ignored and asking if they had had a chance to look at it for me.
jessenator
Head of agency told us not to reply like this, basically allowing clients to walk all over us. And he wondered why turnover was high…

As seen on 90% of my sent emails from my last job. People can't read.
DeakVanNyke
I noticed that my colleagues usually read the mail to the point where it grabs their interest (i.e. the good price) and then just stop >
reading any further details (delivery time, quantity available, origin etc.)
mondeca
Rude or not, I didn't make this happen. They did by not reading the email.
SomeDetroitGuy
Once again, AOC is 120% correct.
PinbotWizard
I usually just screencap the last email and highlight the text. I've been called "snarky".
Nikolai5
That's not a bad thing, I bet there are people there that think what you did was hilarious and wish they did the same.
prettysnarky
Welcome to the club! I got called condescending and snarky for using business professional formatting. lol
wipethatfaceoffyourheadbitch
I like to fully attach the last email and say “attached for your reference”.
kirbfucius
Even better when it's literally in the reply string!
NightfallEverdark
I'm reasonably certain she is a subject matter expert on e-shade.
r0twhylr
I don't use "Per my last email". I reply all and attach the previous email with "See attached".
WhatwouldJesusdeadlift
I've done that before to certain coworkers.
PizzaDogsAndNora
I would never forgive you for that.
TyAnderson2011
Why do politicians feel the need to have such an active twitter account. It started with trump now it seems to just accelerate.
allthenamesaregone
It's basically "Can you not fucking read?!?" in corp-speak.
swefur
"It's truly impressive how well you write, given that you can't read."
Ittybittybroad
"I done told you once now your sup knows I'm telling you again"
TinyLiehon
Where does "barring error on my side I have not received a reply to my last mail" rate?
FlyingTigerRose
Like "with all due respect", which is none.
Ikwilstroopwaffels
AKA "How have you not murdered yourself yet you fucking muppet?"
counterintel
We frequently use 'per the email below' when sending something to someone for the first time, and even that feels combative.
mebe21
"see below for update on ____" or similar is more casual and accomplishes the same
JHRD1880
'I already fucking told you, you fucking dumb piece of shit' and then you smile at them next time you seem them at work.
pickleddinos
Is there a polite way to reference a previous email?
MagmaCarta
"What the fuck!?" = "Please advise."
CorydorasAfavorplease
Between my boss and I, I just literally said "hey man, am I crazy or...??? Because WHAT THE FUCK"
clarkWhogotsanity
Or "What the fuck, are you dumb and blind?"
ArchMagos
"just checking to see if you got my last email" = "bitch I now you saw it, don't ignore me."
astromoondoggie
“What the fuck me on our new course of action.”
Fuck me on our new course of action? Are you talking to HR about your benefits?
Chloramphenicol
"please advise" = I'm a fucking idiot who needs to be spoon-fed instructions and am too lazy to ask a real question.
TeflonTrout
It's usually "this situation has potentially serious ramifications that others should be aware of, and advice is welcomed"
then use those words. I've met too many incompetent fools who use "please advise" to shirk responsibility and avoid work.
Only a chickenshit is afraid to ask for advice
HonestlyNotARobot
I've personally gone as far as to attach the last email I sent as reference. Fuck 'em.
brutalwookie
Forward the actual email with “per my last email, see below”
AnathemaNoreh
For me it's: I already told you the law I'm obeying & no amount of complaint emails to ME will change that law so stop wasting both our time
I like to also attach the email in reference to the “per my last email” email. “Per my last email (attached)…”
Gilgamech
As email subject, it says "I'm here for your kneecaps."
cow042
Even better when you CC your boss and their boss
Imgerruinedimger
My wife had to do this when another employee was very brazenly accusing her of messing something up. Unfortunately for her dumb ass, my 1/
wife had a paper trail of emails going back months showing it was the other ladies fuckup. Sure that felt amazing... 2

retailmemedrone
I’ve been CC’d in an email like that. The most professional beat down I’ve ever seen in my life was in the body of it.
Calicious
“Per our discussion” is “just putting it in writing so others see we actually work.” “Per my last email” is “can you read you stupid bitch?”
30H1PPU5
For me, “per our discussion” is a CYA like….”here is what I said and don’t act like it’s not”
Yes! Get off the phone, write email. Paper trail is important. Plus, if you thought you understood each other and didn't, you'll fix it.
If anyone wants to know what the actually polite way to respond, it is "I'm sorry for any confusion but to clarify..."
ejic
As I noted previously…
Inmate45
I'm sorry you were not able to UNDERSTAND THE WORDS THAT WERE WRITTEN TO YOU, YOU DUMB FUCK.
Mas7er
But to clarify...as per my last email
yerlerswerg
The more polite, the shadier the shade. This reads, “I’m sorry for your incompetence”
I've used this to customers. They can take it however they like.
strugglesnuggler
Apparently anyone who is naturally over-polite due to social anxiety is just sending death threats left and right.
Speaking as an overly polite project manager... yes. That is accurate.
NinjaCongo
Basically, the assumption is that any and all corporate mail exchange is of various grades of hatred.
Mayfly10
That seems like a relatively safe assumption to me.
AccountCreatedToUpvoteDogs
Also, CC'ing any manager is being a tattle-tale and/or attention whore.
tryyshokk
I CC my boss so he can see the dumb shit customers say loool
ChosenChaos
My manager insists on being CC'd in sometime because he wants to be kept in the loop
Itsonporpoise
I tell my ppl “if it’s the second time you’re telling someone something, cc me.” If there’s a f’n problem at that point they can try me >
herby20
I routinely have to CC my coworker's managers in my emails since they don't fucking update their own bosses on anything. Amateur hour stuff.
I counted that as tattle-tale (I'm telling in advance you don't do the work without this accountability). But yeah.
megodk
Not necessarily. Might be a case of "I KNOW I'll get fucked over this & need to create evidence that I was ordered to do it and boss knew"
PerrinAybara564
I use it as a "Hey I may be about to fuck someone over, I need you to be my backup if shit goes down"
nicelyvillainous
Nah, that counts as justified tattle. “I’m pretty sure the follow up will be above my pay grade. Let me read my boss in b4 blindsided.
