DAE hate when coworkers say “Happy Friday”? I want a longer weekend.

My team at work really likes to say “Happy Friday!” every Friday morning. I know they're only being positive and not thinking too much about it, so this isn't anything against them. But we're just powerlessly acknowledging how much we don't want to be working, and how we're looking forward to our meager 2 days a week of break. We already produce more than enough in 4 days. I want a system where we don't ever even think to have cute little greetings to express our collective relief at getting a short f'ing break. I wish I had even the faintest clue of how to organize, in my situation, but I work in IT in a huge company that also has multiple groups that are unionized. Because of that, I feel pretty sure the higher-ups would be extra wary of any attempts and squash it really fast. Feels powerless.
