One of the nice things about being a supervisor

In an office setting, that is. I can indulge my grammar nazi tendencies when I ask someone to write a proposal for a client.
I just sent back a proposal that concluded with "We would like to request that ..." because there is nothing more beta than asking permission to make a request. Just go ahead and make that request, i.e. "We ask that ..."
It's like a child asking his parents if he has permission to ask them about staying up late instead of just asking if he can stay up late.

That's like "We'll just have to agree to disagree." No, we can just disagree. It's okay to do that.

I'll bet you send around irate memos about people taking food from the fridge.

We still aren't going to let you get free McFlurries with every shift.

Congrats on your first day as a supervisor. Make sure your new intern learns a lot for her school report.

What I really love about being CEO is firing pretentious supervisors.

Do you send out quarterly report cards and does a parent have to sign them?

The phrase acknowledges that you have reached a stalemate in your argument. Thus you say it to try and end the discussion without getting anymore snarky last word comments.

No but I'll be held responsible if my office delivers a proposal with obvious grammar/spelling errors.

Your rite. And eye like too youse my grammer skilz, two. It makes thoughs pre-madonnas look pretty dum when I say right that again, butt betta.

That's not a grammatical issue, but a matter of style preference. You're more like a style nazi.

"We would like to request that ..." is not a matter of style. He asked permission to make a request when he should have just made the request.
FWIW the people who read these proposals are SES-level federal executives in their 60's. You can bet your sweet arse the proposal language will meet their standards.
