Stories like this are a dime a dozen, the reason for that being that many new managers make the common mistake of trying to change rules that work, for rules that don't. One man was working for a subsidiary of a fortune 500 as a manager of a dev team. Everything was working perfectly until a new security manager came along, and revoked the admin rights of OP's team. This led to a handful of problems, which were brought to the security manager, who waved them off. In fact, he replied to every email in big, bold caps letters: NO.
Way to support your team, man. So, OP did the smartest thing someone in his position could do: He maliciously complied. What ensued was glorious, and ultimately got this manager fired. May this be a lesson to any new manager starting at a company. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
