A way of avoiding telling someone they're no good at something by telling them they're okay at it. Like wanting to tell an asshole what an asshole they are, but instead saying something like you are unique, telling somebody they're mediocre at something doesn't do anybody any good. Let them know there are other jobs if you don't want to tell them they're no good at something they're doing.
Are you really trying to show concern for somebody else's feelings or your own when you say he or she was mediocre at something?

Get the Mediocritymug. Forced mediocrity refers to a situation where individuals who are not highly intelligent or talented are forced to conform to more articulate belief systems due to the pressures of increased intelligent systems.
In a high-stakes job interview, a candidate who is not highly intelligent may feel forced to use more complex language and ideas in order to appear more competent and impress the interviewer. This is an example of forced mediocrity, where the candidate is compelled to conform to a more articulate belief system due to the pressure of increased intelligence in the workplace.
