What it's like to work for Bank of America!

Well, I'd have a heck of a time staying up for 3 round the clock work schedules. I was down at 8pm and woke at 7am today...no way could I pull an all nighter.

So much for job security at ole BofA.

What in the world would require a banker to be at work for more than 24 hours at a time? I understand that international commerce runs constantly, but any one person in a company shouldn't be expected to.

This is beyond tragic.

A young person so full of life and hope and promise, and they work him to death. Here is another link about him and it has pictures. He looks like the sort of person anyone would want their son to be.

So sad. I didn't see anything in the article that says he

was required to do that, but things are so competitive I'm sure he wanted to get an edge. Students often pull all-nighters, and usually suffer health consequences for it. I'm sure BofA/Merrill Lynch isn't going to like being implicated for this kind of thing.
