That is true, but it's a risky choice to mindlessly follow manager suggestions. You might get the promotion, but if the suggestions lead to complete mess how likely is the manager to take responsibility (Taking into consideration you provided suitable amount of insight and conveyed the issues to the manager) and not throw you under the bus?

It changed my life, really. 😁
I was reading a book and came across this :
"
What if you were a doctor and had a patient who demanded that you stop all the silly hand-washing in preparation for surgery because it was taking too much time? Clearly the patient is the boss; and yet the doctor should absolutely refuse to comply. Why? Because the doctor knows more than the patient about the risks of disease and infection. It would be unprofessional (never mind criminal) for the doctor to comply with the patient. So too it is unprofessional for programmers to bend to the will of managers who don’t understand the risks of making messes.

It's fair point but at the same time we have to comply with the manager in order to have a raise/promotion. What do you think guys ?
