Nonprofit Manager told my husband to practice “radical acceptance”

So my husband works for a nonprofit and his department has dealt with some turbulence that’s left him pretty upset, and justifiably so imo. His new manager, in PEAK nonprofit speak, told him it’s time for “radical acceptance” about the situation. This is clearly code for “shut up and get over it.” I’ve worked in nonprofits for years, and it’s shit like this that gets my goat over nearly every other form of exploitation in the industry.
