You literally have it backwards. It's the bosses that are pulling engineers aside and requiring adoption of a tooling that they're not even sure justifies the increase in productivity versus the cost of setting up the new workflows. At least anecdotally, that's the case.

I don't disagree with that, my claim is that bosses don't know what they're doing. If all of the pre-established quality standards go out the window, that's completely fine with me, I still get paid just the same, but then later on I get to point to that decision and say "I told you so".

Luckily for me, I'm fortunate enough to not have to work in that sort of environment.
