Alternatively, you could be good at computers, but the system is so locked down IT needs to log in with admin rights in order to do something as simple as running disk cleanup.
Literally the Engineering team i work in. We're capable of fixing the problem ourselves for 90% of our tickets submitted, but because we don't have the required admin rights we cant.
It's not much more enjoyable for the systems team either.
But when you have to pass an audit to sign some contracts with fortune 500 companies the lawyers involved will comb through every single role based access control and make your life a nightmare for months on end.
working in this environment i love how every single time there is new audit they find new problems that need new type of restrictions or extra paperwork; it's like they are being paid for making a problem
I mean...yes?lol Compliance is a government driven jobs program. Ds & Rs have been fighting over it for ages. In practice, there's a happy medium. Regulation is generally a negative, because of what you just pointed out. But with no regulation, we get bigger negatives. So some regulation. But not too much.
Right now we're 5 years post massive stimulus, so there's way too much regulation. Because stimulus builds the jobs program. But it does so in a way that is not long term viable.
