This certainly holds true for a lot of approval workflows. I've been in big companies where my ~$300 Visio purchase flowed to a VP for approval. They could have easily done an auto-approve based on job title. It's not like the VP, who had hundreds of people on his team, would know if I needed it or not.

Approval workflows have so many problems. I've seen people that have to make tons of approvals but it's not there real job just approve everything that comes through since they don't want to break things. Almost completely destroyed the security point of making people review stuff for access control. It does fix things in a pure compliance sense so it'll continue.
