Do white-collar employees do any real work on Fridays? - Page 3

I'm an intern/clerk in the legal department of a medium-sized investment bank. Therefore, fridays are filled with busy-work (filing/organizing). When I worked full time in the summer, friday was usually a pretty chill day - long lunches and a lot more story-telling than usual.

Usually the last Friday of the month is busy with monthly reports. Other Fridays end up with team and department meetings and such. Like Pio mentioned, review committees, task forces, and other such things usually end up meeting on Fridays too, but not too frequently.

Today was my day off. I worked from 6 AM until 715 PM, with a 15 minute break for lunch.
But I'm far from white-collar.

If you come in a little early (which basically means showing up on time on fridays) and leave a few minutes late your co-workers will think you're a mad-man and really work your ass off.

Combined with actually doing stuff the rest of the week.

I've stayed at the office working until 7 or 8 many a Friday night... Nothing good, pleasant, or easy seems to make its way to law firms after noon on Friday.

I work harder on Fridays so that I don't have to come in on the weekend. I also try to have some of my simulations built so that I can commit the larger block of free compute resources that is available on the weekends to solving my analyses. ~ H

Yes, which is the only thing that makes the days tolerable. But it doesn't make every day rosey.
