Why? I do this stuff all the time as a manager. It really goes exactly that way. Notice that the reddit commenter started with getting buy-in from the higher-up in their org. He didn't unilaterally start changing process.

This is honestly basic management technique. It is called the "Auntie/Uncle" problem.

I’m having a bit of trouble what “Auntie/Uncle problem” is in reference to. My Google search are just a bit too generic to narrow in. Any chance you know of an article on the subject I can read through?

You might consider providing a link, since Google returns absolutely nothing about management relating to “Auntie / Uncle” as a search term.
