So I was wrong for the remark about it being bad form to layoff people on a Monday. Writes Paul Boutin: Mondays are actually the recommended best time for layoffs, because it gives people the maximum amount of consecutive weekdays to get moving on finding new work and for remaining coworkers to spend time working together, rather than sending them home for a weekend to sulk/drink/ shoot themselves. Look it up or better yet call some sources if you don’t believe me.
