People always joke about consulting Fridays being a light day where you knock off early. I have never found this to be true and usually work way too late. What time do you usually wrap up on Fridays?

You work Fridays?

If I work past 3 on Friday - it was either a week from hell or I managed my week poorly.

Wow that’s amazing! How often does that work out? Do people ever reach out after you’ve logged off?

I actually hated it because it was so project dependent. I was on till around 6:30 on Fridays even though we had “for you Fridays” while some of my friends were out early most of the time

Yeah… I’m always watching other people head out or talk about doing lunch with friends, errands, workouts, or trips on Fridays

Haha, I wish! Consulting Fridays always seem to be the busiest for me, and I end up working late too. It feels like everyone’s trying to get things wrapped up before the weekend. I usually end up finishing around 6 or 7, depending on the week.

This is unfortunately me most weeks. I’d rather work a little longer and not have to do it over the weekend.

It’s Valentines Friday and it’s looking like I won’t be off until 9 at the earliest

No I meant 9 pm :(
