If everyone just sucks it up then nothing gets solved. Ever been told to do something by a developer and you firmly disagree? I'm not going to give in and do what he says, I'm going to make an argument and hope it changes things for the better. If I just put up with the shit then it's me who has to deal with it in the future when it all falls apart.

Giving in to shit management will just reinforce it. Changing teams isn't a solution if your enjoy the team. Standing up for yourself and the team is.

Could he have gone about things better? Probably. But your job isn't just to follow directions, especially as a senior engineer.
