Agree - unless a deliverable is due I am offline Friday

What is summer Friday? Sad that I’ve never heard of such a thing. Aren’t hours just dependent on the client not the firm?

I do believe Fridays in the summer are a thing, yes. I rarely notice a difference between that day and the 4 that preceded it.

funny

Never ever for me. And I live in NYC! That said, I’m going to make it a thing this summer. Wish me luck!!

I'm so confused by all of this. My hours are defined by the work that needs to be done. Not an arbitrary number or day. Is that not the norm?

Of course. But are you able to work less on Fridays?

When ever I feel like it I guess, do you have people making sure you’re in the building or something

We do have a hall monitors

Yeah we get to sign off at 1 on Fridays during the summer

We can leave at 12 on Fridays!! Well.. after working 4 x 10hr + 4 on Friday.. hooray for people first!

It was sarcasm.. as long as we work our 44 and our stuff is getting done, client isn’t looking for us - nobody should care how we break it up.

Meanwhile my client scheduled a 2 hour call from 4-6pm yesterday

Not great

How do you get caught up (or even ahead) when you’re always behind? Assume that all things that can be offloaded have been offloaded. I cannot take one more all nighter trying to get a motion drafted two days before the deadline because I couldn’t get to it earlier.
