So my manager today asked me if I could stay later when there's broken things in prod, and then today his star dream employee yolo'ed a full stack change into prod without review. It's fucking massive and implements new API endpoints, touches >20 files. Many of the diffs are too large to render in the browser.

It's almost comical, but something immediately broke.

Most of my day, I'm digging through code to identify bugs created from this shit, just to get a stealth merge midday.

I kind of don't know what to do.

I obviously don't know your environment, but I don't think a manager needs access or knowledge to git to effectively manage teams, hear and understand team member concerns, and to steer guidelines and guardrails.
