The pressures from management and the company environment are not always a bad thing. It really depends on whether the pressures are coming from a logical business perspective or whether they are just coming from stupidity or ignorance. In a business environment, taking a long time to ship great code can mean that the company goes out of business, and then the software developers have a lot of great code and no income.
I'm sorry but pressuring workers over this stuff is frankly disgusting and I reject you for your anti-worker + anti-human sentiment.
What sort of human looks at a group of people and goes "it would be really nice if we made people miserable."
Absolutely disgusting.
