I think it's a bit sad that you say 'you have a practice of not writing tests' in a small company. You could change that with your next PR - try writing the tests first. You might just find that the job is quicker (yes really!) because you get fast feedback on whether your code solves the problem or not, rather than testing everything manually.

It's VERY sad... They basically told me not to 'loose time' with it... I'm trying bit a bit show other ways to them...

And if that does not work out I think you should maybe consider your continuing of professional career path with them. If you consider testing and TDD a must-have tool for you to do your work well, you should look for an employer who acknoledges and respects that.
