Is this an American thing? 5pm is not “nice and early on a Friday”! 4pm is about what time you should be finishing, and 3pm is “nice and early”.

- tuxie_ 4y agoYeah same here in Germany, it's considered very rude to schedule a meeting that spills over 5pm. I may still be working past that time, but I will decide that.
- bluehatbrit 4y agoSame here in the UK, if you scheduled a meeting at 5pm on most days people would be pissed by on a Friday of all days you'd make a lot of enemies. My old job where I was last on call did Tuesday - Tuesday with a 1pm handover. It gave you time to deal with any issues that were still hanging around from the weekend but then you were done. Handover was happily during the work day so it could be moved back or forth a bit if needed and the new person on call had a couple hours to ask extra questions if needed.
