How late do you work on Friday’s? I found myself on the phone with my boss today at 430 and was disgusted. I tend to shut it down around 1. Last year when started summer Fridays and I was SPOILED. So am I being ridiculous? What time do you finish up?

Not ridiculous. But, your expectations might be a bit too high. Unless you start before 9:00—even on a Friday—the work day goes until 5:00, at a minimum.

While the ideal situation would let you get your weekend started a bit sooner, it shouldn’t be expected to be the norm.

I'm at work until 5 PM. I wouldn't say I'm working all the way up to that time, though. We don't have meetings on Friday as a rule, and unless I'm coming up on a deadline, most of my work for the week is done before noon.

6pm is my hard stop, around 5 though is normal. We also had summer Fridays last year and now that it is kind of nice outside, I am ready to be OUT no later than 3pm. Still have a couple months before those come around again, will be hanging on by a thread until then!

Normal stop-time for me at any of my previous companies was anywhere between 5pm and 7pm. My current company is way more laid back with a lot of respect for work life balance. If we don't have any major deadlines, then most of us are done by lunch on Fridays.
