I had to do frontline monkey work at an oil company.
A lot of it was processing requests etc and I'm sure our only purpose was to give managers somebody to shout at whilst it went through so many pairs of hands (usually involving people who'd actually left) the person at the end of the approval list was so far removed from the work they might as well have been on the moon.

It's DBA's I feel sorry for. Having dicked about with Oracle doing very simple things should work, but don't for no discernible reason, I can understand why they are such miserable bastards.
