Can you effectively work with leadership you don't trust?
Let's say you have people higher on the corporate ladder on a technical level whose opinions you do not respect. This can be because they are either fluffy talkers, ivory tower architects, devs promoted beyond their skill level, people with no experience in the current project, and more.
Simply put: you don't trust their experience in general and you don't trust that their input for this project is relevant. On top of it, it is fluffy and boils down to "make better code". As if anyone consciously wants to make bad code.
If they are setting the stage for technical decisions, but you simply do not trust them, is this something that can be improved upon? Or you just switch companies. How to "disagree and commit" in that case? How to appeal to their managers or someone else? What if the manager above sees no issue with such people?
