Is it your first job ? If it is, don't worry, it's way worse everywhere else. Sometimes you have committees eating many man-hours, every day, to green light releases with non-technical people having the last word, asking no question, and always, always approving.

When I do a release as a dev, I don't do it myself: someone in another country presses the buttons I ask them to press, type the linux commands I ask them to type, and accept my answer when I say it looks good. Because I am, and all my colleagues are, considered a security risk, and it's better we dictate everything to someone who has no idea what we're releasing, for security reason. We call that segregation in duty, instead of "complete waste of time".
