  Friday is by far the most popular day to take off. Many offices are nearly empty on Friday. I'm currently alternating weekly between Fridays and Wednesdays, with my wife taking the opposite day, because we both agree Wednesday's free afternoon would be a great time to do things with our son, but it's also a day with important stuff happening at work. Before that, I had Mondays off. Jobs that need full time cover tend to have a schedule for their employees. And when it's 24x5 or 24x7, you're going to need a schedule anyway, because a regular 40 hour work week doesn't cover that either.

  I don't know of any companies that completely shut down. People take a fixed day off but it's a different day for everyone. As you might conjecture this can lead to some friction where people only meet between Tuesday and Thursday. This leads to slight inefficiencies but in my experience these are small in well managed teams.
