I'm so glad I don't have to work anymore. That sort of stuff was endless in the company I worked the longest. As a computer technical group, we used to get a new manager fairly frequently, and it was never one of us techies, as we were too knowledgeable and valuable for our tech skills. New managers always want to change the way things are done but we went round in circles often ending up working exactly same as we had in years previously. We were fairly unmanageable anyway really, as there was a job to be done which we, but generally speaking not the managers, knew how to do, so we just had to cope with different processes wrapped around the same old work.
Having said that, my techy days were the most satisfying years of my working life, and I missed them when I was shuffled into technical project management.
