It is what it is.

Dear Employer,

I have noticed a spike in the usage of the phrase: "It is what it is." This has been spoken by peers and management alike.

I have no major issues with the phrase "It is what it is." Many things are indeed what they are. In this particular instance, I take issue with the repeated speaking of this phrase as a means of dismissing an anomaly.

Every time I run a test for a particular client, I get a value that is practically zero. Now I get a result that is astronomically higher in comparison. "It is what it is." Is it? I don't know that? This doesn't make sense. "It is what it is."

I understand that times are tight, but I feel that taking a moment to double check an odd result can only do good for the company.

Yours,
