My dad was in charge of a military operation whose motto was, "Do it right the first time." Somehow, a lot of my private sector employers have seen this as an alternative to, "Do it on time an within budget." That's because the real plan is, "Do it sooner than you can and cheaper than it costs, so I can have it now without paying you for it."

Later, of course, when it doesn't work and needs debugging, it's "Why didn't you do it that way in the first place?"

Telling them costs you.

Can confirm. I found a serious defect with a storage product the day before it was due to be released. The behavior resulted in data corruption 100% of the time due to in-flight data de-staging issues. The fix was expensive. My boss's boss accused me of waiting until the last minute to find the bug to sabotage the product. It was not the reaction I was expecting and it didn't exactly inspire me to work harder knowing I would likely be treated like the skunk at the garden party.
