My current company seems to apply the following variation of the motto:

Move slow, break things anyway, disable tests to hide it.

Yeah, I've quit.

Having the wrong things broken is a great way to move slow. Heavily manual (so, insufficiently documented) deployment processes, difficult, manual correctness testing, slow feedback loops in development, that kind of thing. Poor rollback planning.
Pretty much spot-on.
> disable tests

Ha, amateurs - my last company never wrote any tests in the first place.

Hey looks like we both worked there! Break everything and be paralyzed, that was our motto.
