Tried at work to get a sensible policy and I work at a big tech company
that should know better. IT monkeys are just not having it.

 That is due to their CYA "checkbox security" such that their A is
covered if they follow the list of "checkboxes" and the 'silly policy'
is enshrined in the checkbox list, so they duitifully follow along in
order to CYA.
 You'd need to first get the checkbox security list updated to something
sensible before the IT monkeys will do anything to change.
 

Absolutely. But I'll be retired soon so I'll leave the battle to someone younger :-)
