@wallstreetjournal: Wall Street has been reckoning with its culture of long hours and failure of workplace guardrails since the death of two young bankers in the past year. At a Midwestern bank called Robert W. Baird, working more than 110 hours a week was not unusual, former employees said.

100k a year to work 110 hours a week? Basically only making 40k

"If you have any concerns, please cone forward" sounds super sinister in a corporate context.

110 hours is not with any amount of money, especially since no one is dying if the work doesn't get done.

To work those long hours, I just know they were taking addiez. It seems impossible to work an average of 18 hours a day without them.

There is literally no reason under any circumstances to work 100 hours a week other than purposeful cruelty

Every big firm on the banking - legal and accounting side has hours like this in the beginning. Not every week - but regularly. It separates the strong from the weak.
