Heh, I technically hold a gatekeeper role in IT but it's for software releases (because you need to vet that shit before you release it to the wild). You have NO idea how frustrating it is to deal with "administrative" gatekeepers however. People who need to hold 50 inefficient meetings that could've been emails for each damn release. Probably not surprising that the one annoying fucking "gatekeeper" we have (administrative assistant, dumb bitch with no technical skill) is a fat cow pushing the scales at 200+ lbs. She figuratively and literally blocks the hallways of development.
