All of this reminds me of the software Death March book

Where is the financial payoff? Is there a real possibility of a life changing exit? You need to actually believe in leadership's vision. Is the effort worth it? Do they even have a workable plan or are they just doing random things?

Do you mean this one? https://www.amazon.com/dp/013143635X ? Or do you mean a different book?

> software engineering negotiations aren't adversarial

There's a certain book you should go and read... I think the fact that it does exist is proof itself of how adversarial relationships can get in Software Engineering: http://www.amazon.com/Death-March-Edition-Edward-Yourdon/dp/...

Metaphorically speaking, the only way a negotiation does not end up in a fight is when one side sucker-punches the other.
