This is one of the reasons why "Can you describe what I'd need to do to buy a $50 book?" is a deceptively good question to ask during job interviews (or earlier) for getting a read on how a company treats engineers, what their tolerance for process-for-sake-of-process is, etc.https://twitter.com/QuinnyPig/status/1103871152236060672 …

Any answer which takes more than 1 minute of time or a conversation which can possibly result in "We decline to purchase that book." is very much the wrong answer, but surprisingly, companies have invented levels of terribleness here.
