Personally on big decisions I set a date 2-4 weeks out to make a decision and let it gestate in my brain. I think I've only "pulled the ripcord" once in my life on a particularly malodorous company that I worked at after I was talked down to over my decision to refuse. to sign off on something. I felt it was a safety concern until I had taken the time to fix it and check it well. It caused some friction with a big client over a delay (a few weeks), but I didn't care because above all I'm going to do what is right and what I feel pride in. Never let anyone gaslight you ever; if they don't respect you then speak up and let them know that shit is not allowed. Sure you may get fired but I guarantee you will regret not doing it for forever. Probably I got thrown off a few athletic teams in high school :)
