we have a 4pm zoom meeting in which we have to compliment at least 3 people we've collaborated with that week. The shortest it's ever been is 40 minutes.

It's universally hated.

We had someone mess with the internal PA system so it would start playing Final Countdown and the song would end when the clocks ticked over to 5.

Worked for a while at a company that created natural flavor extracts. A couple people worked with a client coming up with new flavored alcohols. On Friday afternoons they would make up small mixed drinks for people to try out and get opinions.

I used to work at a small IT company. Every Friday at 2pm the boss would stream The Big Lebowski over all of the office TVs and speaker systems. He had painstakingly cut all of the profanity out of the audio by hand.

You were encouraged to get a beer or two when the movie started. Then we just worked with the movie on in the background and sipped beer until 4pm when the office closed.

I can still recite The Big Lebowski, sans profanity, over 10 years later.

Bier ab vier.

(Beer from 4 o'clock onwards)

10 is a breakfast pause with everyone, with viennoiseries and coffee

The company was shit so this was the best thing that happened there lol

Former night shift worker: We had bun sunday where we purchased buns for the entire shift to enjoy at end of shift. Also champagne thirsday where the entire shift stayed up the following day and went out to party together.

I really miss being young / working night shift.

Jokes in the chat channel the cheesier the better.

Just the usual boring casual Friday. I think it got scrapped not that long after I started, due to obscene clothing choices (not by me).

Always seemed a bit of an odd thing to me anyway, if you can do that on Friday, why not the rest of the week?

Pizza friday! After I switched jobs, the tradition is a bit on and off. New coworkers are not always keen. I have to bake my own pizza in the afternoon in those cases.

Funky shirt Friday

I worked somewhere where we used to have a toast run to the local deli and get doorstep toast. Then people would bitch about the toast not being to their exact specifications

We've got common lunch during Fridays usually bundled with a fun quiz and or some tasty to bite on after lunch, like a cinnamonroll 😊

Friday Games! My team gets together and plays a boardgame. Lately it's been Gartic Phone, but we also like Code Names, Wavelength, Jackbox... Fun way to spend an hour on a friday
