I worked at a place that did retros seriously on Friday afternoons.

Usually we were knocking ourselves out to complete the sprint and just wanting to go home. Feeling exhausted the last thing you want to do is talk about the sprint more, particularly when there are the common communication pathologies which make people doubt they are really being heard.

Friday retros actually drained the energy out of me. Retros need to be intentional so forcing people to be intentional at 3pm on Friday is likely doing the opposite. I wish there's an easier way to async do retros.
