This is something I’ve seen called “butts-in-seats management”, and yes, I’ve seen it in practice. Many years ago I had a new skip-level manager who emailed me one day saying that he had dropped by my office a few times to introduce himself

Okay I’ll complain. I work in industry in a position where having access to papers is very helpful, some would say essential. I have access to IEEE and ACM DLs. I don’t, however, have access to myriad papers from other organizations like El
