Sometimes its either ship something broken or lose your job.

Lose a little credibility now, or a ton of credibility later? Sounds like a pretty short-sighted tradeoff, and a good opportunity to find a less shitty employer.

You're thinking like someone who exists beyond this quarter's profit margins.

I mean, you do, but as your boss, I'm required to tell you that you need to maximize short term results, and take all the responsibility for medium and long term calamities caused by me telling you to do that.

Hahaha, I'll do whatever you want boss, but you're sorely mistaken if you think you're getting away without a written record of you signing off on telling me to do stupid shit.
