I once asked a coworker at a different dept to include further parts in addition to the regular parts on the monthly spend report that she performed, and she reported that her supervisor, who then said their dept was very busy and would see if they could accommodate the request in a few months.   Then, her manager sent another email to include the director, assistant director of my dept (skipping the manager) and said that a request like that should be approved by them.  Please ask them for approval first.   I was horribly mad.  Still mad just thinking about it.   People are very protective of their own little world for job-security.  They move slowly.  They don't like to share.  They don't like to do more.  and I got slapped hard for taking a little initiative.
