re: Who schedules a meeting at 3:30 on a Friday?

I’m old school. 8-5 with an hour lunch.

Casual overtime. Most people in by 7:30 or so. Most out at 5. I worked later mainly because I’d rather work another 30-45 minutes and have a 25 minute commute as opposed to leaving at 5 and sitting in traffic for an hour to get home.

With that said, everyone worked until 5. Everyone.

Were meetings called late Friday afternoon? Sure. Often? Not really. But if you needed to, you did.

WTF is the matter with people these days? Do you want to be like Europe? Or France in particular?

Not me. USA.
