Same story here. Was working for a manufacturer doing help desk/support. One of two people in the dept. First task was to help someone in a different dept sort through PDF files, and rename them to the company standard format. I wrote a python script to do this instead of renaming one by one. Got reamed because "there's no way that is accurate and it might mess something up". They where renaming the file based on the date of review, and the creators name.... Both of which were in the damn metadata.

If your position was independent enough, you could maybe get by with a "show me a mistake, and I'll acknowledge and fix it and eat crow. If you are just guessing, go look for an error." Or if there was storage space enough, make a mirror directory with copies renamed, so there was obviously no loss of original files, then invite them to check as many as they wanted. I do understand that many people don't trust automation like this, I've been there too.
