Since we had the holiday and people travelled in today instead of Monday, shouldn't people stay at the client site until Friday

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.

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.
