In Reply To: Has anyone else heard this Aleister Crowley fortune cookie roll out of a manager's Aramark hole? I reached my end when I actually heard a CSA say this. I challenged him to tell me what it meant? It's completely without meaning. It's just lazy double-talk to avoid actual communication. "It is what it is."
Message: Let's not give HA credit for that one. That phrase can be used properly if what you're trying to say, is: -This situation isn't what any of us want, but - Given that fact - Let's just deal with it and figure out a plan. For example, I miss the free lunch and the culture that I signed up for, but it is what it is, so I need to just decide if I'm going to stay or leave. Note to Pectopah: Can you do a Hewitt-specific version of "Should I stay or should I go now?"
