I'm not worried about how crippling that sort of scenario is on a day to day basis, because presumably the company doesn't mind paying a fortune for a bunch of people to sit around to hold one anothers' keys.

I worry about those policies when the shit hits the fan and you're trying to fix a production problem hobbled by an inability to do stuff without three fingers on every keystroke.

Agreed. Ideally, whatever system is in use for managing infrastructure provides sanity checks while I'm working, but either gets out of my way or can be sidestepped if need be. I don't want to be crippled by technical red tape when things are on fire.
