Every Time... (2003)

More workplace politics. Those who would request immediate attention, in spite of their disregard for those before them. Was always a result of last minute demands, disguised as requests. And used management as a tool to justify bumping others. And needed it beyond what was acceptable. Every time.

Every Time…
2003

The same people do the same shit, over and over...every time...
it's those same people that always get me into trouble...every time...
as much as I try not to, it always happens, in varying degrees...
but, like you said, sometimes you have to push back.

Pushing back works to a degree...but even pushing back just a little,
will land you in hot water, every time...
at which time you have to explain yourself, every time...

You could push back,
then getting stepped on and walked over all the time, every time...
or, you can push back hard,
and get into serious trouble.
or you could push back a little,
and have to explain yourself after the fact, every time...

even though it's the same people...every time...
and your boss can tell what happened,,
without even asking you,
because it's the same people, every time...

of course, even if you push back a little,
those same people will continue to push, just to push,
every time...
making you push back harder the next time...

every time this stuff happens,
I get in trouble,
every time...

for no reason but to humor those who are pushing...
cuz they do it deliberately…every time...
