We have a woman at my company whose job is to update Jira ticket statuses.

Instead of allowing the developers to update the statuses themselves, she will often prematurely update statuses from "In Development" to "Ready for QA" before any code is merged. Or she'll update a ticket that isn't yet being worked on to "In Development". It repeatedly causes a lot of confusion.

I think she feels the need to be so hands on with updating the statuses in order to justify her job, which, in my opinion, shouldn't exist.
