I started working as back end dev and I was given a pc sadly with no admin rights (which I neede oc) so I happily requested them to IT services. After 3 weeks of waiting got a msg telling me that the script for giving me admin rights was not working so they had to send the request to the next lvl and bla bla bla.
So... I called them. A really nice guy just connected to my pc, used an admin resque account and added my user as admin (2 mins) et voilà. 1 month of waiting for a 2 mins shet. Hate big companies...

    Unfortunately, many large companies have outsourced L1 and L2 support, and since those contractors don't have that vested interest in the company, they do a horrible job of support, because at the end of the day, there are no consequences, unless they do something royally stupid.

    Three weeks is pretty fast for some companies. Capital One took four months to get me access and required hardware. :(

    For some reason at my company I need CIO approval. This is a recent change apparently and my boss refuses to fight for the tool I need... Thus far I've worked around it. Don't think im going to stick around if this trend comes continues.

    The company I work for, we used to get something close to admin for our laptops , but now they use viewfinity and admin access isn't allowed. The work around is that I have lots of admin access on our servers, or get a MacBook.
