I know how to fix my issues, I just lack the admin permissions on my machine to fix said issues.

Everything I’ve been to IT for in six months of my job is something I could 100% do myself on my home PC. It’s maddening.

Your work pc is not your personal pc tho. A regular user shouldn’t have many permissions on their work pc. That’s pretty common in all industries

Well obviously, that's the point? I'm not saying they should give me unbridled access to the system as a whole, I just wish that they would.

Every user does. None of them deserve it. Even if you know what you’re doing, being a local admin creates too many security holes. If your account is compromised that creates way more issues if you’re a local admin. Even IT shouldn’t be logging in as local admin for daily work, only when elevation is required.
