Not have a good day. Not enjoy the rest of your day.

Was this how people ended zoom calls during lockdown or something? Some influencer on TikTok signs off with it? A generational thing? Did I just miss the memo?

    It’s been a thing for a very long time, like even back in the 90s I remember it.

    The difference was it was mostly between people who were both working. At least blue collar, and usually people who had a blurry line on when they were done with work on any given day for various reasons like having a very small business or side hustle

    Like, there was an understood “work” in front of the “day”. Basically “I hope you get through this without much extra bullshit”.

    That’s still how I hear it, but probably not how most mean it.

    I didn’t really notice it spreading, but pandemic and zoom may have made it more common as people worked where they lived and needed to delinerate free time from work time.

      Yeah it’s something you don’t hear outside of work. I felt like it implies more of: when work is over, enjoy what’s left of the day.

        Yes exactly. You say that to someone once their work obligation has ended. It means I’m acknowledging that work sucks, but I hope you enjoy the rest of your day (now that it’s over).
