Are we being to over protected?

How many of you feel you are overly protected by your agency?

Examples are:

• No client contact without the accounts team
  
• No taking a brief without a project manager
• No conference calls with out a "suit" present

Not that I think these are bad things but it does feel like I have a baby sitter looking after me all the while.

What do you guys think about this, do you have an opinion or does your company do things differently?
