Sounds like you might work on a team with some agency to say no to management.

We have some and sometimes marketing comes back with some extra revenue from a partner if we build out feature X Y or Z for their new product launch. The contracts are signed so engineering has to do it or we’re blamed for lost revenue.

A few of those a year and you eventually end up in a similar situation.

If I didn't work on such a team, I would last exactly as long as it took me to find such a team.

That sounds nice. I hope once I have secured my legal status in my new country (few more years to go) that I can take such a risk. Not everyone is in the same position to take that sort of risk.
