That certainly seemed to be the case in this workplace environment. The author makes it seem like everyone and their mother frequently needs login access to a specific tool in order to do their jobs on the daily. However, all of a sudden, upper management decided that it would be a better idea for logistical purposes to restrict that access. Now, whenever employees needed to use that tool, they needed to submit a formal request and get that request approved before they could use the system.
This was obviously a major lapse in judgment. Clearly, upper management was entirely out of touch when it came to what this team does day in and day out. Restricting access to that tool only added more steps to everyone's job, thereby complicating logistics and ultimately slowing down productivity. Keep scrolling below to find out how the author maliciously complied in order to prove his point that login access needed to be given to everyone who uses that tool.

If the purpose of this so-called experiment was to simplify matters, then the policy failed entirely. If the purpose was to complicate everyone's workflow for no legitimate reason, then it was a success. The author assumed that it would take a week or so of malicious compliance in order for upper management to fully understand their mistake. After all, these folks clearly are not the most attentive managers out there.
Well, it turns out that even the author was mistaken here. It took management just a little over one hour to realize just how unnecessary and meaningless their policy was.
