Now I also experienced the corporate IT - hell.
I'm an apprentice at a small but branch of a fairly big company.
We get a fuckton of guidelines from our IT-HQ, plenty of them outdated.
We can't even decide how to configure our firewalls our self, but get them preconfigured from the HQ.
They micromanage us so hard, we can't even put a switch in a room, without having to arrange that shit with them.

useful tip for windows (don’t blame me for damages):
if you have corporate admin permissions for computer ( many devs still have it ) enable local admin account and you can do anything ( if something is disabled you can change local policy and enable it )
If you want to delete some of their software from computer run in recovery mode and login as local admin.

If you can’t be local admin I wish you good luck and happy future with new better job !
