Is it traditional to announce startup shutdown on Friday (this & Sprig) just like layoffs?

  PR 101: announce bad news on Friday. Fewer people will hear about it.

    If the company is completely shutting down anyway, what's the point?

      Announcing bad news as a founder is pretty heartbreaking. The less discussion about it the better, I would imagine.

  Its the end of the quarter, roughly, and probably when payroll gets processed for the 2nd 1/2 of the month and for the 11th 2 week period which is probably more significant.. though that could also relate to layoffs maybe as well..

    Holiday weekend, too, in the US. Lots of folks take today off for a 4-day weekend or more.
