It gets interesting when a company assigns 2 story points to a task that requires 6 minimum. No time for writing tests, barely any time to perform code reviews and QA. Also, next year the company tells you since we have AI now, all tickets must be done 2 times quicker.

Who popped this balloon? I know I need to change my employer, but it's not so easy. And I'm not sure another employer is going to be any better.

Classic butchering of otherwise decent Scrum idea. If assigning 2 points means no tests, then you are already using story points wrong, and complaining about it is meaningless.

Are you not involved in doing the estimation?
