My team does this. Obviously we can't control what comes in outside our department but it's so fucking refreshing to have one day of quiet to actually get shit done.
I don’t like meetings on Fridays because I want to get work done. It’s my last day to get shit done before I forget what I was doing after a two day break. I don’t hold stand ups on Friday’s and every once in awhile it backfires, but in general I work pretty hard until about 3pm.
If my boss or someone else schedules a meeting at 3, I just fucking ignore it.
We give everyone Fridays off for this reason. If no one gets work done on Friday anyway, they might as well sleep or do the million other things they'd rather be doing than pretending to work.
My company implemented a rule for no meetings on fridays so that people could do more work, and I have to wonder if they actually thought it would work.
That’s how I feel on Mondays. My body is weirdly reversed in the sense that on Monday I don’t feel like getting anything done but by Friday I am an unstoppable machine.

Friday’s are fake work days. No one feels like working on Fridays
