"as such" is rude?

[nq:1]During my work I was sending correspondences using "as such" for the meaning of "so" or "hence". For example, I ... use "as such" and asked me to change to some other words. Is it really rude to use "as such"?[/nq]

[nq:1]I don't think it's ambiguous. "As such" clearly refers to the position of Vice President. No one would be scratching their head about that. I don't even think it's a borderline misuse.[/nq]
