Probably just small dick, i mean small company syndrome maybe they think their stupid work is so important can't dare have anyone operate it inebriated. And anyone who is not some vic (very important cunt) they project their own monkey arsed incompetence onto and take control so they can feel justified for impregnating their sisters. P.s i hope it comes across that i dislike being micro managed and saying please and thank you, just to do my fucking job.

@penderis I think that pretty much sums up my mental state about it! But because I haven't been in this role before, I am not sure if it's normal, or what I should expect

My father is working at SAP and has a similar situation as far as I'm informed. He is only allowed to install programs on his work laptop, which have been approved by SAP.
The advantage of SAP being a big company is, however, that most relevant programs have been approved already at one point or another.
The same applies to his phone, btw. They approved Signal though (but not Whatsapp for instance), which is nice. -
@theCalcaholic I can kind of understand it with a large company, but a company of less than 50 employees the practise just seems BS

@steeb I agree
Hi guys,
Been lurking for a while and has been refreshing to see I'm not alone in some of 'interesting' issues I face day-to-day!
I am in a situation where I am a technical lead, but any architecture changes need approval by the MD, any software (free, obviously paid for is understandable!) needs signoff before installing, even if it's to see what it's all about! Essentially anything I should be responsible (no matter how minute) needs signoff before I can even attempt anything.
This is my first time that I am in a role of this level, but it seems like I am responsible for a lot but don't have much control over what I can do about it, is this normal? To me it just seems there is no trust in my judgement, which is not justified considering I'm only just being put into the role!
