Workers are trained to follow orders.
In another life, my job required me to have a fancy ID. As part of the training when receiving that ID I was specifically told to never give it to anyone or even let it out of my sight if it was not in a secure and controlled location.
IMMEDIATELY after signing forms saying I had completed that training, the person at the badge desk told me to give them my ID so they could do things. I made a half hearted joke of "This feels like a trick" and was immediately yelled at with a guard (who I am pretty sure wanted to bang said desk lady) getting in my face and telling me that it is a privilege not a right to have one of those and he is sick and tired of people not respecting the flag and blah blah blah. I need to get back to work and didn't feel like having someone wave an assault rifle in my face so I handed over the badge and decided to not care.
So yeah. When your boss says "just do it", you... just do it. And your boss is saying that because they were told to and so forth up until a shitweasel who wants to curry favor with the new administration. Because, if you don't, you will be made an example of and fired for completely unrelated reasons. And while it is easy to say "Obstruct them, get fired", that doesn't really help when you need to provide for your loved ones.
