A particular manager is failing to comply with procedures to request IT resource and is trying to get round it at every turn and jump the queue.

Her resource requests typically have no business case justification, which the procedure she is trying to avoid asks for. She just wants more time saving toys for her personal convenience- none resulr in the company saving time or resource. She is misusing the IT helpdesk to lie things are “broken” when in actual fact nothing is broken, she is fishing for IT development instead of following the proper procedure.

Tipping off the other managers has been suggested and get them to raise a complaint with Directors that procedures are not being equally applied.
