That concept is lost on so many people and I don't understand why. One of the last teams I was on had two weekly meetings. One was 9:00 AM Monday morning and the other was 4:00 PM on Fridays. They were both running through all of our projects and always seemed surprised that the Monday update was the same as the previous Friday update.

It is to their advantage to ~~be~~ act surprised, therefore they are "surprised", see? This was your "opportunity" to show how dedicated you are the company, having worked all weekend long...

It isn't particularly hard to call this out. Just say "I haven't done anything since Friday." And leave it at that.

Be comfortable with silence.

I have a blocker for Friday afternoon meetings.
