A banker at a boutique Wall Street investment firm has raised eyebrows internationally after he sent a late-night email reproaching his junior staffers for not being in the office at 12.30am.
The mid-level unnamed male banker sent a mass critical email to numerous employees, after he only found 11 staffers still at their desks just after midnight one evening.
The email was first exposed by Wall Street Oasis, and begins by acknowledging the diligent 11 employees who are still at their desks in the early morning hours.
He then went on to castigate all the other analysts who had chosen to go home.
"I know that you are ALL working very hard and are stretched thin across multiple projects," the email stated.
"Given that new staffings continue to flow in and you are all very near capacity, the only way I can think of to differentiate among you is to see who is in the office in the wee hours of the morning.
"I know that everyone works differently and you all likely have a docking station set up at home, but I have found that when you are truly jammed with no end in sight, you should stay in the office because the connection is faster, your associates (and potentially VPs) are in close proximity, and you have access to firm resources.
"That said, this method isn't perfect and if you have any suggestions on how I can do this more accurately, I'm all ears."
The email has been picked up by media outlets globally, and taken to task following a recent spate of deaths among young Wall Street workers over the last few years.
