what's the reasoning to never quit on a Friday?

  It gives you time to slow down and reflect if this is something you really want, or just a reaction to a long and difficult week. It's similar to the "count to ten" principle, before yelling at someone.

  Because you've been working all week so you're at peak tiredness

  Good points mentioned by others at this level of the thread. I'd also assume that it may be that having the weekend could put one in the mindset of relaxation and cause procrastination at the start of what could be an intense process that requires drive (depending on individual's circumstances). Or maybe it's kinda the opposite where if one were to quit on say a Monday instead, there's a good chance that the work week mindset holds, kicks the individual into being productive (maybe more productive than usual out of necessity), and then that weekend would be very much needed to wind down/refresh and reflect on the progress that was made. Again, just my assumptions, but seem like likely scenarios that could play out Edit: spelling

    Changing a job should be the result of measured, long term, reflection. Any one given Friday at the end of a bad week is not the best time to make a snap judgement. If you still want to quit on Monday? Go right ahead...but a lot of times the stuff that seemed insurmountable on Friday, don't look quite so bad with a bit of reflection. Unless they still suck.
