I may be totally confused here, but I believe you should be
pushing on the piece between the fence and the blade to keep it
where it belongs, on the table. Pushing the waste piece leaves a
unguided chunk of wood between the fence and blade where it can get
caught or wedged and come flying back at you. The waste piece left of
the blade will usually just sit there when the cutting is done. All
this assumes we're talking fence on the right and I understood this
like I thought I did.
