"The five-day is locked in pretty firmly in the developed world, and a company that tries to change that risks getting out of synch with suppliers, subcontractors, and partners. "Today's Thursday. Our office is closed on Fridays, so we'll have to schedule that call for Tuesday, because one of our suppliers is closed on Mondays." Last week I was surprised to find our engineering team in our Washington DC were all out of the office on the Thursday, I needed a remote machine repowered. Friday is a bad day when you work with the Middle East. I believe some countries work Saturday-Wednesday and have Thu/Fri off Of course right now in New Zealand it's 3AM on Tuesday, but it's 6AM on Monday in LA. We somehow manage to cope scheduling meetings.
