What is the idiom, expression or proverb for
if you bend once they will bend you for lifetime.
In indian culture, we have a saying
"Jithe oli/mau mathi, tithe atti" which literally means Wherever wet/soft ground, there is exploitation. The meaning is whereever people find niceness, kindness, generosity people will take advantage of their niceness.
This is usually used in business like Client vs subcontractor relationship or Client vs service provider relationship or Client vs customer relationship , in an organization with Employer vs employee relationship context. That is if one yields or allows himself to be used then the other party squeezed them to the last drop.
