Hierarchical work environments or “employeeism” teach you to not commit to more than what is expected of you - the likelihood of your own engagement being turned against you is always higher than the opposite.
You get criticised if you overestimate and if you underestimate so better to overestimate and then just fill out the time with nothing if it turns out to be a 10 minutes fix.
And also: if the projected path doesn’t work it’s a huge issue (who was wrong?) and bother so instead it’s easier to just work and keep up the ticket front, hence it might be different altogether leading to agile for the sake of agile without any connection to the facts.

Absolutely!
