Everyone happily careening toward totally preventable catastrophe, then doing surprised pikachu face.
Me: "I don't think this is the right approach, it will cause [problem]"
Them: "No, you don't understand, if we don't do it this way it will cause problems for the client"

Them: "Mr senior developer, [problem] has happened, you have to help us fix it!"
There's something aggravating about being the go-to person to fix problems and not being trusted enough to have your warnings about upcoming problems he died.
That's exactly it. Being accused of catastrophizing, then being blamed for how expensive the fix is... Demoralizing combination.
