Ha!  I told my assistant not to put anything on my calendar before 10am.  My first hour of the day is devoted to emptying my email box, breakfast, and reading industry press online.  Friday afternoons are ghost town here; I don't think I have ever had a Friday afternoon meeting.


At least you have a job

True.

Some people are unhappy at home and want to delay the weekend.

and people who turn up at them and justify their existence are as much to blame.

Agreed.

The culture at my company limits this, fortunately.

I have worked with people like this. They start each meeting with "This is going to be quick, I just want to touch base..." and BAM...before you know it, its 5:30pm and the end is no where in site. The meeting ends with "Oh I lost track of time but we really covered some good points, very productive."  Comes from bosses who want to flex their power and also the ones that have no life and are not married or hate their wife.




STAY POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree. I got that stopped by declining the meeting invite and suggesting a different day and time. They don't even try that shit anymore.

Yep, this exactly.  I've worked for such folks and they do everything to stay away from home.  Long, late day meetings scheduled.  Constant happy hours after work.  Burning the midnight oil when no one else is and nothing pressing is happening.  Annoyed when you have to be out of office to care for family.

It's the same twats that try to squeeze in a meeting on Dec 23rd. Had this happen. We had an early day ending at 2 before the break and asshole tried a 1-2:00 meeting. Everyone told him to fuck off.

I work from home 4 days a week, so even if a call goes 4-4:30, I'm home right after.

You do customer support?
I'm working from home 70% of the time too. But working on a Saturday is still working on a Saturday even if I'm on a computer at home.

Someone should of thrown a small bag of weed in their desks and tell the boss you heard (insert name) was using. Problem solved for good.

I did this in one job where I was a sales rep basically cold calling to sign up Industrial customers. Most customers finished early on a Friday so that was a time I didn't have a lot to do. The Sales Manager wanted to call meetings on a Thursday morning or something when I could be out chasing sales. I told him to do it Friday afternoon when we had nothing else to chase. I only had so much time to chase new business I wanted to maximise it.

It's the same jerk off that in high school had to remind the teacher that the class wasn't assigned homework.

Industry Hardo's...Shitty private life so they think everybody who isn't working as long as them are slackers. Not unlike Gym Hardo's. 3 hours in the gym and they do home cardio and still look barely trained. Fucking clowns...

Work at home MON and FRi's, IT policy not to make changes on those days, so I "monitor" things.
Nice 4-day weekends...

No, nothing like that.  Those in the business I work with are just located in different cities and time zones than our corporate headquarters, so there's little reason to go to the office.

It's happening more often. I'm away from home during Easter because the employer put off making an important decision until the absolute last minute. Not he's trying to arrange a half hour meeting on Friday, in Wake Forrest, because I'll be able to "Pop over" from Columbia, SC. Doesn't occur to him that people may not want to meet with me on Good Friday.

Easter dinner is huge family event, but I'll be stuck in Tampa.
