do bankers work on friday before christmas?

Curious to see if bankers work on the friday before Christmas?

Trying to figure out if this MD ignored my email, or just wasn't in the office lol.

I have emailed this MD before, and he's usually pretty good with response times.

I "work" over the Christmas/NY break because it means I can come in wearing casual clothes, start at 10, pretend to work a little, leave at 3pm.

I've got a live deal on over the next week, but that's not going to change the routine that much.

You may get a reply if the guy is in the office and using the time to clear out unimportant stuff, like your e-mail. But maybe he just can't be arsed and will spend the time surfing the internet and doing more important things, which is likely pretty much everything else he's been putting off all year.

Those who can, do. Those who can't, post threads about how to do it on WSO.
