I do something like this at my workplace. I guess it gives me leverage, but the main reason is that my boss drags his heels so much when I try to improve the workflow that it's easier for me to just crack on without his knowledge.

Apparently this is common enough that there is a term for it.

I think the latter was the main reason. It sounded like his boss really had no idea what was going on or how to make things work. It was only the two of them at that station and they laid off the guy who was actually doing everything.
