No idea, but they’re morons. Laying anyone off on a Friday — and a payday, at that — makes no goddamn sense.

It’s a technique often advocated by workplace security experts:

Businesses…be mindful of WHEN you fire someone

2. Firing someone on any other day than end of the week, puts the individual in a position where he doesn’t have anywhere to go the next morning. The departure form normality starts right away tomorrow. If instead, you terminate on a Friday afternoon, the person will have the entire weekend to come to terms with what has happened. No work tomorrow, when tomorrow is a typical weekend day doesn’t seem as jarring as it might earlier in the week.
