“I don’t have the time” is a polite way of saying your task isn’t important enough to move the other scheduled work, and is usually said to people who think they’re more important than they are. I’ve had tons of people try to shift their responsibilities to me, and “I don’t have the time to do your job and mine” is frowned upon in the workplace, but “I don’t have the time” is a polite way of telling you to fuck off and find someone else to do your tasks.
Unless you’re my supervisor, I don’t owe you an explanation of why I can’t do your task. And if you were my supervisor, you’d already know because I’ve been bitching to you about all the people who keep trying to make me do shit that’s not my responsibility.
There’s a reason my boss has me redirect people to him, cuz he can say stuff like that directly to people vs me playing nice for HR and making them figure out they’re getting a politely worded ‘go away kid, you bother me’
