The fallacy here is that you're assuming that doing things right takes more time.
Doing things right takes less time in my experience. You spend a little more time up front to figure out the right way to do something, and a lot of the time that investment pays dividends. The alternative is to just choose the quickest fix every time until eventually your code is so riddled with quick fixes that nobody knows how it works and it's impossible to get anything done.

But their incentive is to dream up imaginative OKRs and come up with deadlines to show visible progress and justify their roles until the next quarter.
