Recently my org decided to disallow sudo/admin access to all employees on their laptops. So basic things like updating the OS, updating VSCode need to go through an approval process.

I've never experienced a policy like this in any of my previous companies and it's incredibly frustrating.

Do you experience the same with your org? Do you have any success stories of getting through the red-tape and get permanent admin privileges? I am genuinely confused, perhaps it's a common occurrence across other IT companies and I am just oblivious to the fact.
