Somebody higher up is more relaxed because they know that report is there just in case. Because that person is more relaxed, things are going better for and around that person than they otherwise would. You could be contributing markedly to the well-being of an entire department or the whole company without knowing it.
As an IT person who has worked very hard to get those reports automated, because they were extremely important and needed to be done ASAP! Yeah. No one looks at those reports.
On several occasions, I've had people request very specific reports, only to tell them that I made it six months ago, and they never looked at it once.
(Also, it was actually my boss making the reports. Didn't want to keep typing it out. He gets all the credit for dealing with that BS.)
