I've written those types of emails you describe, Jacques: "My understanding is..."
It's an excellent way to leave an audit trail.
- ChrisMarshallNY 6y agoThis guy dealt with that, simply by not replying or acknowledging the email, then claiming "That's not what I agreed to." His boss would support him. It worked, most of the time. Scott Adams once wrote a book: "The Way of the Weasel." It has some techniques in there that are remarkably familiar.

- jacques_chester 6y agoFor sure, but sometimes the boss has a boss. Or takes you to HR. Or some other thing you didn't think of in advance. In all these cases it didn't matter tactically, but it did strategically.
