At my store, we put up the ad signs for each sale overnight. We generally have three people doing this, and it takes us most, if not all of the night, to get all the signs up.
Then, on Sunday morning, the department specialists take the sign count report for their departments and walk them off to make sure all the signs are up and placed according to corporate standards.
Guess what? Starting next week, working the sign count report will be our job! Apparently the department specialists are just SOOOOOOOOO over worked that they can't find one or two hours to walk off their departments on Sunday mornings, which are always dead until 11 or so.
So now we may have to be staying late to get all the signs up, because evidently the world will end if we leave at 7:00 with signs still needing to be put up. I say "may" because we have already decided we are not going to work those dumb reports unless we get more people. There's no reason we should have to be staying late all the time to do a bunch of work other people don't feel like doing. Stuff like this really makes me wonder why we have department specialists in the first place.
