I worked as a Camera guy in film and I am known to be very fast – yet I had directors who wanted things even faster. Bit there is a natural limit to how fast you can get something done without having worthless garbage as a result.
You can take certain risks, skip certain advisable steps, focus on the most essential thing etc, but below that there waits literally nothing.
In my experience taking a step back, breathing in, out, and then proceed to doing it properly is in most cases faster than following your boss into panic and ditching common sense.
It is your responsibility as a professional to say “No” or “Stop” in certain circumstances. And if they really want you to do it, write down the possible consequences of what they force you to do and make them sign that they take the full responsibility.
There is so much talk about IT security with people frowning upon silly behaviour, yet any other craft would bend over backwards before you could force them into unsafe behaviour. If engineers would build bridges like we in IT operate, we would have many collapses a day.
