For me the math is very simple: I don't bulge for estimates that were not made by me. Nobody else knows better what amount of work a product brings.
"Oh you already told the client the project would be done in 2 weeks even though I already told you numerous times it would take at least double of it?". Not my problem. Screw you guys, I'm going home! -
@Raich Management determined it wasn't necessary.

@kanduvisla Even if you did you'd have to spend triple the time fixing the shoddy workmanship.
Boss asks me to prefer deadlines over good engineering practice. Says meeting a deadline is always more important than building things the right way.
Son, when the company goes out of business due to hundreds of millions of dollars in losses due to shoddy engineering, do you want to be the one to go to the spouses of everyone who lost their job and say "your spouse lost his job because we didn't take a few more days to build the product right"?
Son, when the company's product blows up in a child's face like a Note 7 because of your shoddy engineering, do you want to go to the funeral and tell the parents "your child died because we didn't take a few more days to build the product right"?
Fuck your arbitrary deadlines. I prefer not allowing for so much grief and suffering to be on my soul.
