What you are describing is shit managers.

If corners need to be cut for valid business reasons then there shouldn't be any real push back from the devs, because they have the business context laid out for them.

Every dev I've ever worked with will say "yup, I understand. I might not like it, but I understand" when given the context of pushes for quicker delivery.

But that requires understanding on both side that you are sacrificing quality to hit a date, and that has its own costs.

Mostly this all boils down to: talk to people like they are you colleagues, don't order them around, find a solution together.
