How about, "Im going to have you...". Do you get that one? I hate that one.

How about: "I'm gonna need you to..." or "I'm gonna ask you to go ahead and..."

Especially for filling out time sheets or heck, TPS reports. This goes really well.

This is what popped into my mind instantly when reading the parent comment as well!

For anyone who has not seen the movie Office Space, you need to see it. While you are at it, also watch the series Silicon Valley.
