Open-Faced Compliment Sandwich

When you receive criticism followed by an insincere compliment, usually at a job review. Done when someone gets so upset after criticism that they are pacified with a "compliment" in order to shut them up.

Chris was mad because his job review was terrible, so his boss made up a random compliment to make him feel better. Chris did not fall for this Open-Faced Compliment Sandwich and remained angry. Grrr.
