“Wall Street banker’s death at 35 ignites firestorm over alleged grueling 100-hour work weeks”
May 13, 2024
“The death of a Bank of America associate last week has ignited a firestorm on Wall Street as some bankers slam the toxic work culture they feel contributed to his death — including reported complaints over 100-hour work weeks.
Leo Lukenas III, a former Green Beret who was part of the bank’s Financial Institutions Group, died of “acute coronary artery thrombus” at age 35 last Thursday, according to a Reuters report…
The rep said the bank has no plans to take any action against Howe or to investigate complaints that its junior bankers are forced to put in 100-hour weeks…”
See the bold? Of course they’re not. In any case this should be obvious but don’t work 100 hour work weeks people. It’s not worth it and it’ll kill you. After you die the banks wont “investigate.” That should tell all employees of Bank of America how the higher ups feel about you.
