re: NASA "Quiet Fridays"?

Does not mean that they are being lazy, and it probably means the opposite.
My company does something like this, to deter departments from having to many meetings. To many meetings can restrict productivity sometimes.

I'll interpret for you what this means.

What may have originally been a well-intentioned practice to allow managers, et al, to catch-up, did not take into account years, even decades, of a low work ethic among gov't workers. No fear of losing their jobs. The only show in town. Arrogance toward the private sector. So "quiet Fridays" means just do even less than was done the previous 9 "work days."
