Casual Fridays were instituted by companies trying to raise the morale of its employees and hopefully boost productivity. I have a better idea! Instead of casual Fridays we should have casual Mondays!

Think about it...

Mondays can ruin your entire weekend!

Sundays are basically ruined because the day is spent in lamenting the fact that you have to go back to work on Monday. (Since this can actually start as early as Saturday, your entire weekend may be ruined!) The latter part of the day is also spent getting ready for Monday. If companies had casual Monday, then the ironing of blouses, skirts, shirts, and pants could wait for a weekday. This way, you can sit and relax on Sunday and watch Carnivale! Mondays would not be as stressful, and let’s face it, Fridays are not stressful at all! Fridays already have the privilege of being considered a weekend and how many people really do all that much work on Friday anyway!

I vote for Casual Monday! Friday already has its own distinction and even has its own saying... TgiF! It even got a restaurant named after it! Let’s give Mondays a better reputation.

Presidents, CEOs, and bosses everywhere... get rid of the Monday blahs, raise productivity, and really boost morale; institute casual Mondays! I will think about how to lift morale for Tuesdays later. Also, while you’re at it, don’t forget the Krispy Kreme donuts!
