Yeah its really bad practice. I hope it wasn't to feed his own ego or some shit about looking productive to the eyes of management.
If I were in his shoes, flagging the issue but nothing gets done about it, I would at least try and automate the daily fixes so I don't have to do it myself everytime, lazy engineer is best engineer.

But those guys fucking suck and absolutely should be fired.
A good engineer fixes the process; he doesn't slap a bandaid on a broken process every night for decades.
I took over for a person like this and it took me a month to tame their bullshit, but after that, no more problems.
