The Weekend Expands To Friday
from the no-news-Fridays dept
I usually post less news on Fridays because there just isn’t as much going on. The month of August is usually a light month as well, since everyone seems to go on vacation then. So, it’s no surprise that this first Friday in August is extraordinarily slow in news. However, it was fitting to find this story about how slow Fridays have become. Most companies won’t report news on Fridays unless they’re trying to sneak something by the analysts (a strategy that probably doesn’t work at all). Some people are blaming the concept of “casual Fridays” which seems like a bit of a stretch. However, the article also mentions a study has found an increase of “lateness, sluggishness, absenteeism and even flirtatiousness” on Fridays. That’s right. If you’re sitting around at work, bored out of your mind today, go flirt with someone. It’s the thing to do.

statistics
20% of absenteeism occurs on Fridays.
Re: statistics
Yes, and 20% of all weekdays are Fridays. Coincidence? I’m not trying to mock you, I’m just not sure if you just posted that for a laugh or seriousness. :->
Re: Re: statistics
I think he was being sarcastic. Don’t have much of a sence of humor do your?
Although I am sure it is more then 20%.
Re: Re: Re: statistics
Ummm, I was also making a joke. I do believe that Fridays and Mondays have the highest absenteeism, and that it is higher than 20%.
