Everyone I know is putting in at least 50 hours a week, and that’s on the good weeks! Is this really how it’s supposed to be?

You people are su-kers. If you can't figure out how to meet your managers expectations in under 40 hours then there's something wrong with you. I've been getting 2-3's on my performance revies for a decade working 35-40 hours per week.
Post ID: @1zzq+1vRgfX9s And then in the same breathe $hittybank tells employees to "Find" time to relax and take "Your" vacation days, because it's use them or lose them. What Hypocrites! Employees are using some of their vacation days to Do $hittybank work. And yes, this includes the Compliance Training modules.
$hittybank is the Clown $how, Freak $how Joke Punchline "Bank" of Wall Street. LMFAO!
I've actually heard MD's refer to the employees as "8 - 6ers". Not only is it condescending, it's speaks to the 10 hour day expectation.
@xek+1vRgfX9s
I learned that many managers want you to work on that on your own time, after 5pm or weekends.
And $hittybank does Not count the hours put in to do and complete Compliance Training modules. This is work too ! Employees are Not doing this for free or voluntarily! I've had "managers" ask me "What did you do today?" and then when I answered, "I had to do and catch up on X-number of Compliance Training.", they replied "But did you do any real or additional work?". What MotherFvcken A$SHOLES!
30 to 60 minutes here and there used to complete Compliance Training is NOT nothing! The minutes and hours add up!!!
I see many people in Risk working more than 40 hours - but do we count sitting on pointless zoom meetings, writing pointless emails, drinking coffees and having chats, as work? Most office jobs nowadays are 90% BS - so even if you spend 168 hours a week in the office that does not mean you are working...
50 hours are my minimum. My team is all in Shanghai, so I have to meet them in my nighttime for meetings so it forces me to be up to almost midnight my time. So not only long hours, also meeting late into the night and I have to keep my brain sharp to perform.
Even if it is artificially. Otherwise I will fall behind in work. 50 hours is considered a good week in my team.
Citi will say that most do NOT put in 40 hours per week. So how do that quantify that. They monitor every mouse move, every keystroke. If there’s no prolonged movement “you are not really working”.
So, if you join a zoom session from your home computer, laptop, Ipad without SSO, they can’t track that, so you get no ‘credit’ as it were to count. If you go into the office and attend meetings as a group in a conference room, there’s no credit there either, unless you bring your laptop in and make sure to keep your session active. If you do testing or script writing in your test lab at home, and email yourself your script, there’s no tracking for that. They don’t know that it took you 8 hours of testing, trial and error on that code.
I think that as a whole, everyone should just put in 8 hours and 8 hours only to see what that looks like. I guarantee you, if they trim back my team…I WILL NOT be working extra hours to make up for that loss of staff. I can promise you that. Its not like they are going to pay you for putting forth the effort of two people, so why put in the effort of two people.
