Then just change jobs, duh. I mean, if you’re in a company where you can’t say “Look, it’s better if I skip this discussion to ship a feature”, odds are you’re wasting more time than you imagined.
"Just change jobs" isn't always feasible just like "just break up with them" isn't always feasible in relationships. Kids, health situations, money issues, professional enjoyment, location, and needed benefits (particularly remote work) can all play factors into why one might need to stay at a particular job.
And further, we should always be encouraged to first try to solve our issues before running from them. Yes, solutions may not always be possible but learning to solve difficult issues is an important skill.
If by positive alternatives you mean backup plans, savings, and safety nets, then yes, I agree that emergencies should be prepared for as much as possible. However, life sometimes gets in the way.
