The problem is your boss. I work with tickets and just have a maximum for the average amount of time to be under for the quarter. It’s very relaxing.
You need to explain to your boss that different tasks take different amounts of time. Explain that you may be able to do things faster at the risk of larger issues taking up more time later. Then when they tell you to work faster, reiterate that it will cause bigger issues.
Literally give them what they want: fast solutions at the expense of quality. Then don’t worry about it when things eventually break.
Literally every boss I’ve had has been like this. I don’t think there’s a whole lot of IT jobs that aren’t at this point. I’ve worked several and if they’re not call centers (a few have been - where call time is factored in), this has been the primary time system, required by all employees.
