At the end it is the money that decide. If your manager said that you have to skip tests or cut corner to achieve the end result in the budget than even if you are the greatest software engineer than you are stuck to do it the way the money said.

If you try to go against that, than they just pick someone else, you do not have any bonus while your teammate has or worst you will be out of the loop and finally out of job.
