Really not trying be a hardo, but I'm curious what kind of industries/jobs y'all work in where meetings on Fridays are so taboo.

What industry are you in that anyone wants or needs to have Friday afternoon meetings?

hey always lay people off late in the day on Fridays. Less drama


This. There’s a reason bad news gets dumped late on Friday afternoons… and sometimes meetings are called if they affect the business

That didn't matter. She knew about our trips bother times. I guess the wife should have kept her trap shut

there is something to be said about not divulging too much personal information at work, regardless of how innocuous it might be.

you never know when it will be used against you.

That’s because they know you’re not working and consider that a warning shot. They know you’re F’n off on this message board.

And before you reply, I’m on vacation so

People that show up to work Monday with a fake excitement and act like they thought about work all weekend and can’t wait to get the week started

I work for the govt. Nothing happens after 11am on Fridays. And even then, there are few that are working. I telework most Fridays.

The same type of people who walk into a restaurant within 30 minutes of closing and expect to have a full dining experience (drinks, apps, meal, dessert)

Perfectly acceptable if the meeting is at a bar.

But that would be on a Thursday unless those Aussies are working a Saturday.

People who actually still need to get things done. If you need to you will also.

I have a colleague who would stay at the office until 8 pm tonight just to push paper and bounce ideas around if there was actually anyone left for him to talk to.
