Young Bankers made to work 90 hours per week

Young  Bankers made to  work 90 hours per week

Novice bankers at investment bank Goldman Sachs  say that hey are burnt out with work fatigue as some of them have to clock in ninety hours of work per week
A survey reveals that some of these workers get only five hours of sleep per day. A group of first-year bankers said that have alternative other than leaving if work conditions do not improve.

 

Their personal relationships also suffered as did their physical and mental health.

 

"The sleep deprivation, the treatment by senior bankers, the mental and physical stress… I've been through foster care and this is arguably worse," one respondent said in the survey.

 

"This is beyond the level of 'hard-working', this is inhumane/abuse," said another.

 

Before working for the firm, the analysts assessed their own mental health at 8.8 out of 10 and their physical health at 9 out of 10. After starting the job, they rated their mental health at 2.8 and their physical health at 2.3.

 

The survey results circulating on social media have come to the attention of mainstream media and the discussions happening around the revelations are currently damaging for the high profile investment banker.
