Welcome back to The Human Revolutionaries Show!
Yup, it's Goldman Sachs again. We don't meant to keep talking about them but if they want us to stop they will have to stay out of the news for a few weeks!
This time we are talking about allegations that 100 hours a week is quite normal for junior staff at the company and that snack boxes were sent home (paid for out of the pockets of senior management, not by the company, by the way) to thank them for their sacrifice.
Is it a resourcing problem? Is it because they go the extra mile for their clients? Is it because of Covid? Or is it a lack of appreciation for how people's contribution can be measured beyond pure hours worked?
In this week's show we look at this story from a number of angles. If you've worked an 'extreme' job before we'd love to know your experience and why you found yourself working upward of 70 hours a week. Can it be justified?
In our regular check in we also talk about how having the kids at holiday club this week is helping us think more clearly! It turns out a bit of unstructured time staring in to space and enjoying the quiet leads to some good ideas and some breakthroughs! Who knew?!
Here's more about the story.
