I scared the shit out of one of my employees. I went to his desk around 330 on a friday and asked to see him in my office. As we were walking across the room, we got stopped 2 times, prolonging the walk.
He later admitted he thought he was being fired for some reason because “office talk” at end of the day friday is how that stereotypically goes, and being stopped twice was excruciating…
I literally wanted to give him more money lol. I convinced HR he was under paid and we needed to pay him more so he wouldnt leave the company. I thought that’d be great news on a friday afternoon, but i almost gave him a heart attack in the process

I’ve heard Tuesday in the afternoon, like 2 oclock is the best. They can go home early and tuesdays are just… Tuesdays
