What is the typical day of a week that individuals/teams get laid off? Friday? Monday? Any day is fair game?

There is a Y at the end of each day of the week and a Y in layoff. So a layoff can be any day of the week.
Thursday for me and my team.
Peacock said to always know your next step. Just be prepared, it can happen at any time.
Just going by what’s happened the last 12-14 months, lay-offs have occurred on Tuesdays or Wednesdays.
Specifically for layoffs: I think they back into it so that your last day (with 60 day notice) falls on a Friday. I was notified on Tuesday, May 16 and last day was July 14. When I was notified on Tuesday morning, I was told I could take the rest of the day & Wednesday off (w/o using PTO) to process everything mentally.
My team was given a layoff notice on Wed 03/29/23 and then it completed on 03/30/23. Our last day was 06/02/2023
Be scared, can happen any day, any time. Maybe the holidays?
Thursday and Friday for lay offs, but y you are being terminated, it can be any day as long as hr has signed off on it.
Wednesday/Thursday seems to be the trend, at least from what I have seen.
Being in HR, layoffs on Fridays. Gives the employee time to go home decompress over the weekend, file for unemployment on Monday.
Go watch the movie Office Space.
