"It's not mandatory, but...

we [i]strongly recommend[/i] that you attend this meeting/go to this company party/buy this useless extra equipment using money from your own pocket." (Management)

"Well I [i]strongly recommend[/i] that you all f-ck off. Respectfully." (What I wish I could say to management when they feed me the above phrase)

Anyone else have to deal with this sh-t on a daily basis?
