In my experience it’s been IT people telling me you can’t use a certain tool or have more control over your computer cause of their rules.

The expression is appropriate but the meme assumes that im doubting the IT person’s expertise. I’m not, I’m just not liking the rules that get in the way of my work. Some rules do make sense though.

Edit: just wanted to point out, yes I agree, you need the rules, they are still annoying tho.

"Their rules" are basic security precautions

Their rules have stopped me from being able to do my job. Like the time the AV software quarantined executables as I was creating them so I literally could not run my code. When security enforcement prevents me from working, something needs to change.
