That was the manager exercising their discretion (approving a PB is discretionary, usually you'd decline >1 PB for the same thing) in a way that was probably bad. As proof - i submit the fact that it made Erica feel horrible! Note: It could also be the other manager didn't notice. PB's are automatically approved after X days if they aren't turned down. It's rare to get > 1 PB for the same thing, so it may be the other manager just didn't pay attention (the system sends email once) or whatever. This would be even more likely if the other manager had a bunch more employees.
