Push back. Don't be weak. Stop making excuses.

And yes, I have before and yes, I was right, and yes, they appreciated it in the long run.

Only idiots think "speed" is the sole determining factor in all of this. Every time I encounter someone who's over-focused on speed, I get them cut from my team. Those people are corrosive for the very reasons your hypothetical presents. It promotes a culture of unthinking that eventually leads to disasters, hands in pockets, and whistling. Loser behavior.

Get comfortable with becoming human Roundup. Weed the garden.
