JPMorgan is limiting junior banker hours to 80 per week in most cases—a first for the bank. This is in addition to the company’s existing “pencils down” period from 6 p.m. Friday to noon Saturday and a guarantee of one full weekend off every three months. Bankers told the Wall Street Journal that a sample 80-hour workweek for a young JPMorgan banker could consist of six days of working from roughly 8:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., with short breaks for meals, or 11 hours a day for seven straight days. In comparison, that’s still double the average American worker’s 40-hour week. Read more: https://lnkd.in/edAVhntQ

Pause with me to remember September 11th On this day, we pause to remember September 11th and honor the memories of those who perished, those who survived, and the brave souls who ran into the buildings to help others. It was a day that changed our world forever, a moment that forced us to take stock of what matters most—the people we love and the people we lost. One of my fondest memories from my days at NatWest was working at One Exchange Place in Jersey City, where my cubicle had a breathtaking view of lower Manhattan across the river. I remember being in awe of that skyline, never imagining how dramatically it would change on that fateful day in 2001. September 11th brought heartache, but it also brought stories of miracles. Many people who were supposed to be in the World Trade Center that day were saved by seemingly small choices—a missed alarm, a traffic delay, or an unexpected meeting—turning ordinary inconveniences into extraordinary blessings. These stories of survival remind us that life is fragile and unpredictable, and they offer a glimmer of hope in a time of darkness. As we remember, we also honor the first responders and everyday heroes who, without hesitation, ran into danger to save others. Their courage and selflessness continue to inspire us, reminding us of the power of unity in the face of unspeakable tragedy. Today, we reflect on how 9/11 altered the course of history and our lives. But more importantly, we hold tight to the lessons of love, resilience, and the preciousness of life. We will never forget. With us always, Laura T. 🧡💚💙 #NeverForget #September11 #HonorAndRemember #30SecondSuccess #StandInYourBrand

Two of Wall Street’s largest investment banks, JPMorgan and Bank of America, are cracking down on the industry’s infamous always-on culture, which has recently been linked to the death of a Green Beret-turned-investment banker. Now, JPMorgan will limit junior banker hours to 80 per week in most cases, as confirmed by the company to Fortune—a first for the bank. This is in addition to the company’s existing “pencils down” period from 6 p.m. Friday to noon Saturday and a guarantee of one full weekend off every three months. A sample 80-hour workweek for a young JPMorgan banker could consist of six days of working from roughly 8:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., with short breaks for meals, or 11 hours a day for seven straight days. In comparison, that’s still double the average American worker’s 40-hour week. Earlier this year, Leo Lukenas III died of a blood clot while working more than 100 hours a week on a $2bn deal at Bank of America. https://lnkd.in/etMKQ9EV #banking #worklifebalance #toxicculture

Results announcements tend to focus on the 'what' a company has achieved. In the context of working for NatWest both pre and post 2008 economic crisis what I'm genuinely more obsessed with is the 'how' behind that 'what'. There has been a radical shift in culture, with behavioural traits and customer centric metrics stitched into the fabric of engagement. By no means perfect - but definitely doing some bits right. 😊 Looking forward to what the next few years have in store under Paul's leadership. Not in terms of how much money the company makes - but in terms of how the humans that make up NatWest get better - bit by bit - every day. #brightfuture
