Sounds a bit like managers where I work. One of them we reckon to be an Aussie because he's always going on walkabout. It's nice they trust us without them looking over our shoulders (some of the other teams have to take this shit) but every so often we really need their access passwords and last time I did, two of them had knocked off work without telling us who was covering and the third was off training new recruits in an unknown location. Needless to say, even when I found the guy covering for them he didn't have the passwords I needed. So much for customer service: "sorry, you joing us is being set back ANOTHER week because we only have restricted access to our own systems and can't do anything. Sorry you've now been waiting six months..."
