Goldman Sachs has officially announced that it will cap interns’ days at 17 hours, meaning interns are encouraged to go home by midnight and not arrive before 7 a.m. At the beginning of June, Goldman Sachs took on around 2,900 summer interns.
The announcement comes shortly after Bank of America Merrill Lynch intern Moritz Erhardt, 21, was found dead in his shower after working for 72 hours straight. According to an autopsy, Erhardt died from epileptic seizures that could have been triggered by all-nighters.
Still, after Erhardt’s death, some banks have been making an effort to scale back on the absurd rigor of their internship programs. The bank also recently restricted junior bankers from working on Saturdays.
Investment banking internships are notoriously grueling. Recently, an email addressed to Barclays’ Global Power & Utilities interns began circulating, outlining “10 power commandments” they were expected to follow. The supposedly humorous instructions included: “We expect you to be the last ones to leave every night… no matter what,” “Never take your jacket off at work,” and “I recommend bringing a pillow to the office.”
In a statement, Barclays responded to the letter: “We have implemented policies and training guidelines to enable employees to gain valuable experience while at the same time maintaining a healthy work-life balance.”

i'd rather see them having to risk their lives to get their golden parachutes and trophy wives instead of financing global wars that risk the lives of millions of people and only carries the risk of a desk job.
put those fuckers in a Colosseum and let them fight to the death with swords for all i care about the up-and-coming super elite. i don't really empathize with them since they don't really empathize at all.

i mean if you're wanting to become, like, an overpaid hollywood plastic surgeon you've got to go to medical school and be a resident somewhere. you don't just become a rich hollywood plastic surgeon. you work your way up.
i on the otherhand don't have a chance because
1. i didn't finish medical school
2. i pass out at the sight of blood.
same goes for being a dickbag financial conman who screws up entire markets for everyone, you gotta start somewhere. usually goldman sachs, but as long as you get past that hazing bit you're free to lie and con and fuck people out of as much money as you can grab out of their saving accounts. sure, maybe only 1/100,000 will steal billions of dollars and cause global recessions, but all of them were interns somewhere once.

They have the choice to not intern there, right? So something about this particular place must make the crazy hours worth it.
It's not like they are locked in, like that iPhone factory with all of the suicides.

yeah. it's not the same when a super ambitious person works 17 hours a day or more to have a shot at an incredibly high paying job with more perks than church
and when a person is forced by poverty to work similar hours to subsist. if the work is too grueling you can always walk away. unless you're poor and will be on the streets.
let them get a taste of real work before they leech off the blood and sweat of others.

You realize transwomen are more likely to be attacked by women than vice versa? You realize the reality doesn't line up with your delusional hate-fueled ignorant paranoia, right? It's ok to hate so long as you understand that.

I'll explain it a different way. Most crimes that are commited are males hurting males, robbing males, murdering males etc.
So most crimes looks like this
Man (biomale)on Man (biomale) crime
So you whining about this
Man (biomale)on Woman (biomale) crime
Makes no sense to me. Please explain why one group of males is better than the other.

You're bias is showing. I specified transwomen are more likely to be attacked by women than the reverse.
It's interesting you dismiss male victims of violence who are attacked by another male. That is a very ridiculous idea. Victims are still victims. Men aren't likely to be victims of violence by women as women are physiologically different than men, and far weaker. Women tend to victimize men by provoking them to attack them and then using the state or other men to commit their violence, or by just having other men commit their violence.

Oh so you count a kick in the shins like a rape? You tool. trans women certainly arent weak, and certainly do kill people. So they must not be women, right?
Regarding that poor trans girl (being serious here), they treated her like another girl. I'm pretty sure they even use correct pronouns. They would have just as likely done that to a biowoman.

They attacked her because she was trans, and women do kill, just not very often as they prefer to get men to do it for them.
Also, who said anything about rape? You were setting new standards. Transwomen don't go around raping women, I don't have any figures, but you would need to demonstrate that transwomen commit tons of rapes. Whereas they are very routinely attacked by women for being trans. That's not because of some beef they had, but just for existing.
Your irrational fear of tranrape is absurd It's right wing fear mongering.
Unless you have evidence to suggest otherwise. I'm open to actual evidence than transwomen rape women often.

They beat her like she was a girl. Everyone in that video called her "her". It was horrifying, and brutal but it wasnt transphobic.
You made claims, and couldnt back them up. Tons of trannies now are fake, because its a fad. You also went from claiming that bio women are weak and unable to murder, to saying that they are a threat to trans women.
Listen, I'm not even mad at you. So calm down and actually talk about this.
Also, please stop showing me that link. It proves nothing an you've done it like six times already.

I said they were violent. They just aren't as capable of murder as men. They were beating her because she was trans. There is a video of a trans woman walking down a street in Vegas and two women assault her, though everyone abuses her.
Women are exceptionally violent. Lesbian relationships experience the greatest rates of abuse.
You have never demonstrated any risk of transwomen committing violence against women. Do you forget you made the extraordinary claim.
It's completely delusional. There have been no reported attacks by transwomen in bathrooms.
