> You refuse a direct order.

I never said. It's not about outright refuse. It's how to deliver better outcomes. It's not a win or lose situation. Don't treat it like that.

> If your boss says that he does not care about long term consequences and he want things done a certain way

As suggested in my previous comment it could be you didn't explain it well. If you say code quality they might not care. Say it will crash randomly and can't fix it then they might. There's some art to it.

> Your opinion on what you think he wants is legally irrelevant.

No it's not. So you're saying if you got told to do something illegal you'd also do it anyway? I doubt it. You need to at least cover your back and document it as such. I'd say termination is better than jail.
