I'd disagree with that assessment. The lockdowns, in many cases, prevent some of us from doing our jobs & substantially decrease efficiency. And the way it's been done certainly sends that message that our professionals are not responsible.

For example, I needed to access an outside data room that was built on Active X. It cost 2 days of my time trying to get the IT department to let me do my job.

It's as bad as TSA, except I can escalate matters (although the CIO has been known to turn down requests from the CEO - not exactly "career enhancing").
