Trolling aside, my experience is that often this is a WFH week if possible or the team leaves earlier on Friday than it would on an average Thursday. Many clients wouldn't expect to pay for Tue-Thu travel, especially if many can't arrive before midday Tuesday and typically leave prior to COB Thursday.
Absolutely fair to make them stay but don't be surprised when good people leave from being overworked and don't complain if they point out that you werent there. Maintaining good people means making hard decisions and protecting them where you can. They can always go work somewhere else.
No, because we didn't choose to have Monday off.

Ofcourse a principal would ask this ...
If I worked 60 hours in a week, shouldn't I be able to bill what I work and earn more money for overtime? If the answer is no, than yeah I get to go home Thu.
Why should people be punished for having a holiday?
No. If I take vacation Monday, do you make me stay until Friday?

since I worked all weekend to prepare for meetings today, shouldn't i get the rest of the week off?
P1- this sort of attitude is what kills the morale. I work nights and weekends relentlessly when required, and I would stay till Friday- again when it's required. But just to make me stay at client for absolutely no reason but optics is utter bullshit.
Getting back super late on a Friday? Not having that day to take care of local tasks? How is it not clearly worse than coming back Thursday?
I'll tell you what - if the partner stays thru Friday - I will too.
Yes i would stay till friday but i hope i will get a next day off when i am working on a deck till midnight
Create an environment where your team wouldn't mind and volunteer to
How is that punishment?
This should be a remote work week. You can save expense costs and make the team happy.
I'm staying until Saturday, this principal is a slacker
Pwc8 is my hero. I bet his utilization is high and he doesn't complain about crappy work
"It depends". If optics matter to a client, use your best judgement. I flew in Monday night
