Monday is just another terrible working day

August 21, 2012

Researchers have found that Monday is not an unusually depressing day. It’s actually just one of four extremely depressing days running from Monday through Thursday.

Data collected from Gallup telephone interviews indicates that people are equally unhappy on all working days except Friday.

According to Professor Stone of Stony Brook University (his own personal university?), who led the team that conducted the research, people have a perception that Monday is the worst day of the week because of the contrast from the weekend when they might not be extremely unhappy.

The obvious cure to this malaise is to have people in on Sunday.

Psychiatrist:

Everyone I know just says "It's Monday" -- and we know exactly what that means.

About Guru

Guru is Personnel Today's notorious HR commentator. He's been working in HR for far too long and observes every passing management fad with a mixture of anger and amusement. His blog is the one thing saving his long-suffering wife, Mrs Guru, from having to endure too much of his ranting about the big HR stories of the day.
