: : What does "when push comes to shove" mean?
I always thought it meant that you need to be alert and more aware
of a certain situation when things change and to possibly expect
different reactions.
For instance:
Let's say you are at work and your team is doing very well working
on a project together. Everyone is pleasant and things are going
along just fine. Then, all of a sudden, upper management changes
the parameters of the project, moving the due date much closer than
your team had expected. Some team members can very easily adapt
to the change and some can not. So in the future when the stress
hits again, you will know which of your team members you can depend
upon when "when push comes to shove".
