Liquid Nonsense

My manager had scheduled an employee appreciation afternoon for us several weeks ago at the beginning of April. Due to concerns about an upcoming release the same management has decided to push back the celebration until a later date. The email I received informing me of this is what has me concerned.

Guys -

Today's outing to Jillian's has been postponed and will be rescheduled. We'll appreciate you at a later date yet to be determined.

Thanks

Is it just me, or is that second sentence pretty fucked up? Appreciation is evidently a finite resource that must be conserved otherwise we'll run out of it too quickly. That, or morale is measured in psi and if it gets too high the building might explode.
