I don't think you're getting the point (you might be in a small, or in a great team). Tests are great for the codebase, for stability, for onboarding. But for devs who have management/exec pressure, and especially if the team is 'agile', they will slow your sprint, discover edge cases or bugs you never put in your cards and ultimately 'slow down' initial development, and if your company is especially bad, you'll get performance reviews. If you let the edge case/bug happen in prod, it'll take more time to correct it than if you caught it prior to that, you might have to modify an loop or a data structure and introduce more bugs, but at least the software was delivered in time, and you'll get paid for that time spent correcting those bug if you're a contractor.
