    i genuinely hate that phrase, it’s usually used by people to get you to stop complaining about a valid issue

      …or people that don’t otherwise know how to respond, but want to acknowledge your statement.

        I’d say more than half the crappy situations I end up in are both outside of and beyond my control. Sometimes, you just have to ride the suck train until things improve. Therapy is a powerful tool, but it has its limits, and it’s important to know when and how it can be helpful.

      I know a female supervisor that uses it daily to demean her employee’s valid concerns and needs. She was nicknamed The Witch and she has witch paraphernalia and decorations all over her office. She knows how far she can push and abuse people without raising any alarms to the executive staff.

      They want you to stop complaining because they have no solution or there isn’t one. Bitching isn’t going to do any good.
