Half day mondays - you don't start work until 11:30 or 12:00
This means you can make proper use of your sunday. It's a proper weekend day so you don't have to go to bed early.
Also you don't get the monday blues so much, you can ease yourself into the working week. You go into work on Monday with an "oh, I'm going home in a few hours, I can handle that" attitude

Who's actually productive on a monday morning anyway?

A lot of businesses in france and holland and other parts of europe already do this.

You know it makes sense

It sounded perfectly plausible
right up until "You know it makes sense." Sounds like a con to me.

It is a good idea
But I'm guessing the French and the dutch actually turn up at 14.00.

"Bof, is lurnchtime. Wah bozzer going for ziss haf an ower?"

Etc etc. Best make it Tuesday, just to be sure.

Not at all...
I admire and aspire to be just like the French! ;-)

We get Friday afternoons off instead, which works for me. Makes Fridays even more exciting.

As for not doing anything, my boss is extra vigilant on Monday and Friday mornings.

In places with less vigilant bosses, I suppose nothing at all would happen on a Monday in that scenario - the same "what's the point, I'm going in a few hours" viewpoint as some get away with at our place on Fridays, would happen on a Monday instead.
