I totally feel your pain. Go and work somewhere else.

What you can sometimes do, is to remove all those layers to be able to implement or fix something. Then tell the team that you didn’t have time „to do it properly“ and you focused on functionality and efficiency over design. Management loves that.

And after it’s done, some of those abstraction nazis can refactor in all those abstractions again. So they don’t distract you from the next meaningful task.

But make sure, that you understand what benefit this decoupling brings. Because sometimes it’s useful, just not often enough.
