> Management wants to break stuff, that is on them.

This implies that managers will do both of the following in response to the aforementioned breakage:

1. Understand that their own managerial policies are the root cause.

2. Not use you as a scapegoat.

And yet, if you had managers that were mentally and emotionally capable enough to do both of the above, you wouldn't be in this position to begin with.
