I worked for a company that removed admin access on our dev machines. To be admin, we had to send an email to a foreign country and wait an hour to get a token that could only be used once.
Since I was the most productive employee (lazy bastards), I needed to be admin ten times a day. They quickly changed their decision and gave me full access to my computer again after I flooded them with admin requests and comments like “I can’t work.”
The company fired everyone later because humans cost money but that was fun while it lasted.
