The phrase is "let it roll off like water off a duck's back."

My first boss in my first programming job told me that a lot of people
I'd be working for would be personally abusive, it's part of the job,
and I should let it roll off like water off a duck's back.

I'm lucky he warned me, because he was right: They were personally
abusive. And I did what he said, and life was good.
