“#Goldman analysts beg to work only 80 hours a week in leaked presentation<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Goldman Sachs underlings say grueling, 100-hour weeks have damaged their health \u2014 and they claim the relentless grind has pushed them closer to ditching their coveted jobs at the Wall Street giant. <\/p>\n

The gripes come from a disgruntled group of 13 first-year analysts in Goldman\u2019s investment banking unit who surveyed themselves about their work woes \u2014 and then organized them into a detailed PowerPoint presentation that has since spilled onto social media<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The leaked slideshow, which was shared with managers, includes testimonials of working 20-hour shifts that one worker called \u201cinhumane.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is not ok to me is 110-120 hours over the course of a week! The math is simple, that leaves 4 hours for eating, sleeping, showering bathroom and general<\/a> transition time. This is beyond the level of \u2018hard-working,\u2019 it is inhuman\/ abuse,\u201d the analyst complained.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

\u201cThe sleep deprivation, the treatment by senior bankers and physical stress\u2026 I\u2019ve been through foster care and this is arguably worse,\u201d another added.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy body physically hurts all the time and mentally I\u2019m in a really dark place,\u201d yet another kvetched.<\/p>\n

The report even includes bar charts showing the analysts\u2019 deterioration from job stress. Before they arrived at Goldman, the analysts rated their mental and physical health on a scale from 1 to 10, with 10 being the healthiest, at 8.8 and 9, respectively. Since then, those numbers have plunged to 2.8 and 2.3, respectively, according to the bar charts.<\/p>\n

In conclusion, the analysts suggested solutions such as maxing out their workweeks at 80 hours and avoiding last-minute changes to presentations for client meetings \u2014 a dig at Wall Street\u2019s constant \u201cpls fix, thanks\u201d culture.<\/p>\n

\"Life
Life at Goldman Sachs headquarters at 200 West Street feels too much like a sweatshop, analysts say.<\/figcaption>

\u201cJunior bankers should not be expected to do any work after 9 p.m. Friday or all day Saturday without a pre-app<\/a>roved exception, as that is the only safe-guarded personal time that we get,\u201d they wrote in the presentation.<\/p>\n

Wall Street is known as an industry with long hours. But during the pandemic, with no set time to clock in and clock out, complaints of not having time for basic needs like eating and showering are on the rise. <\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t come into this job expecting a 9am-5pm\u2019s,\u201d said one survey respondent. \u201cBut I also didn\u2019t expect consistent 9am-5am\u2019s either.\u201d<\/p>\n

In response, Goldman is enacting new measures that include forgoing some business to help keep the workload more manageable, according to a Bloomberg report that cited an unnamed Goldman executive.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe recognize that our people are very busy, because business is strong and volumes are at historic levels,\u201d said Nicole Sharp, a spokeswoman for Goldman Sachs. \u201cA year into COVID, people are understandably quite stretched, and that\u2019s why we are listening to their concerns and taking multiple steps to address them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Goldman Sachs did not return requests for additional comment.<\/p>\n

Anger has been bubbling at Goldman after a report earlier this week that Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon has been living the high life while his employees toil day and night. <\/p>\n

Solomon recently jetted off for weekend getaways seven times in as many weeks on Goldman\u2019s private Gulfstream jet \u2014 including four trip<\/a>s to the Bahamas, according to an explosive report by Bloomberg.<\/p>\n

At the time, Goldman rep Jake Siewert pushed back on the report, saying Solomon practices what he preaches.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen he\u2019s away for a weekend, David continues to work, pays for his travel, follows COVID protocols and is back in the office first thing on a Monday morning,\u201d Siewert told Bloomberg.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
