Better to have this happen on a Sunday than a Monday.

Maybe because it is a Sunday :)

Don't forget weekends vs weekdays.

Simple - they don't have a weekday :)

spacehunt Jul 3, 2016 View on HN

Wouldn't it be more like Tuesday-Saturday?

How dare they take weekends off.

Probably so it's not treated as a weekend, and so that any issues that arise can be discussed on Friday.

I think it's a month thing rather than a weekend thing, no?

There’s a huge difference between weekdays and weekends.

People don't tend to work every day in a week, and there are holidays etc.
