Same goes for marketing: Monday's are like, hey could everyone please like and share our newest LinkedIn/Insta whatever? Friday's are look how our numbers skyrocketed! (B2B company, no idea why they even care about Instagram)

Somebody does. Some Milton somewhere in the company will complain vehemently if anything is wrong and will possibly die if it doesn't show up.

Multiple times in my corpo experience I've assumed everyone ignored this sort of internal communique and have had people look at me as if I was skipping a message from God.
