That's why I do it. That doesn't explain why they even need to be there.

For example every project code drop down has this experience: my manager tells me what project code to put everything against, then I always pick the same option. Sometimes I've not been granted access to that option and waste a bunch of time getting that turned on.

At no point was any part of this necessary, because I neither defined the ticket, or could select the project code for myself, but we're all engaged in an elaborate game pretending I had agency over it.

Or you could show initiative and improve inefficient processes instead of blindly following "how things are done".
