41 emails and 2 days later

41 emails and 2 days to delete one file and move a redirect page through 4 environments.

That's when you know you're dealing with process overkill at work. I've never in my entire life had to deal with so much bullshit to delete a file off a freaking test environment. Why the hell a company would pay tens of thousands of dollars for software which can do this for you out of the box with full transactional deployments and audit trails, and not use it is beyond me.

I'm laughing about it as I type this in fact. A squeaky, desperate slightly maniacal little laugh.
