What is well received?
In 2020 "well received" became the approved formal reply in an email to replace the previously ubiquitous "got it" or "copy." As with most multi-syllabic pretentious-sounding corporate jargon, this reply indicates the recipient hates you, their job, this task you sent them, and wants nothing more than to pawn the task to the next shift. Friendly relationship exchanges continue to use text messaging and the term "got it" as this indicates a much more likely chance your request was indeed received and acknowledged. When "well received" is combined with "circle back" in the same email you have been secretly told to GFY.
This email is well received and I will circle back shortly to close the loop on this critical action item.
