is this only your opinion or you can back it up somehow? At OP ("lowest") level, "stepping on the brake, saying no" in my experience rarely turned out okay. Neither for project, nor for career. Looking back I can clearly recall cases when I missed a thing or two when "saying no" against the vision of senior colleagues / lead / manager

In terms of human resource, putting people behind work tickets without proper handling of their work value concerns is likely to end up in a disaster. Happy workers work more for less, there is economic proof of that. Stepping on the brakes is a learning opportunity for both the junior and the management. Stepping on brakes is how startups can be so competent in so little time, we don't have friggin tickets. It may rise conflict, but conflict is part of the goddamn life. Caring about quality should be listened to and enforced, so I'm on the step on brakes side.
