A friend of mine works for a small video game studio and proposed they use pull requests instead of "trust me bro" merges to the main branch. It was met with fierce, vitriolic resistance. But now it's fine, people seem to get it, it just took time. So uh, good luck. You're going to be the one everyone hates. I'd just quit in your shoes, to be completely honest. Your desire for a solid foundation will never be seen as anything but a roadblock to an organization that just wants more floors added to the house with reckless abandon for safety. Any securities gained by improvements you champion will go unnoticed. You will be blamed when the inevitable downtime from molding a mountain of shit into less of a mountain of shit happens. You are going to lose this fight. Please just quit and go work for a software engineering organization, you seem to have taken a job at a sausage factory for some reason. I'd also try to learn from that... Good luck.
