I don't know a single person who willingly spends every waking hour at his or her job. But apparently some do, because Goldman Sachs (the global finance company) is now telling them they must go home by midnight, and cannot start work in the morning before 7 a.m.
Banking interns were told the new rules when they showed up the first day for their summer internship. The new rules come after a tragedy - a Bank of America Merrill Lynch intern, 21 years old, was found dead in the shower after working straight for 72 hours.
"Goldman Sach’s chief executive Lloyd Blankfein told his interns that they shouldn’t give over their whole lives to the firm. “You have to be interesting, you have to have interests away from the narrow thing of what you do,” he said. “You have to be somebody who somebody else wants to talk to.”
Good advice.
