If your company doesn't care about you then you shouldn't care much about company's policies that come in your way either

I used to suffer from a similar situation. In GitHub, one can be a code owner of a directory in the repository, in my company you cannot merge pull requests without explicit code review and approval of the code owner or the repository owner (CTO in my company)

Problem was that whenever I used to raise a pull request for changes in the directory I myself was the code owner.. no one was there to approve the pull request as one cannot review the PR one raised itself. I would just ask someone else to raise the pull request and approve it myself and merge it ;) Didn't want to wait for my CTOs approval and dictate my working pace. I was always going to be accountable anyway my repositories.

Now, I'm not saying that you should go the same route, rather trying to influence you to not feel depressed and try and find a solution to work around the policy.

Firstly, do the obvious and keep poking who ever is incharge about your situation.
