Just to update on the outcome of this, I am still in contract as a first off and sigh if relief.
I decided to summarise the sequence of events that had led to where I ended up and discussed with my team lead / senior stakeholder. They saw where I was coming from (to a point), and in short, asked me to put together a corrrective plan of action.
So normal service resumed. Thanks for all comments.

Now, if you were MF, it would've been a different matter - transporting that fatberg involves some serious reward points.
