I hate being the bad guy

[punkwalrus]

Increasingly, it requires being the bad guy just to get anything done in this world. “We’ll call you back,” seems to be completely meaningless as a phrase more and more often. It’s like a casting call, “Don’t call us, we’ll call you.” Being nice just gets very little done when you are facing a huge wall of apathy

Speaking as administrative staff in the medical industry, oh boy, do I hear you! And what am I going to do to make it stick if I try to be a badass? Bill the client's account? Most of them are set up so we can only bill insurance or the patient - and it's illegal to bill a patient who has Medicare or Medicaid, so we end up writing those off!

Punkie! You're a genius! You've done it again! We could make an industry out of offering pushiness services to the assertively challenged!

Don't have a backbone? Don't want one? But still need to acquire things that you can only obtain by being an asshole? Let the assholes at PushCo industries perform this onerous task for you!

Wait a minute, they already have this, they are called lawyers.... sigh.
