Do other firms have off for this upcoming Monday given the markets are closed and it’s a national holiday? Fully expect IB employees to be working on Monday (albeit at the very least WFH), but my boutique has people coming in office.

IDK what firm you work at, but I worked Christmas, thanksgiving, Memorial day, 5 hours on the 4th of July, Labor day, and New years eve. So yeah, Ill be working on "Monday"
Sounds like you didn't have to work on your birthday....you must be in a pretty relaxed group
I got to drink from … I mean work from home that day.
Know it is often the unfortunate reality of working in IB to have to rip through these holidays for work but should not considered the “norm”. Finishing up my second year at a BB and the group culture has been strict around holiday weekends / vacation times and most juniors are not working during these times (I’ve only had to work 1 holiday weekend in 2 years and that was 8hrs of total work).
Posting for awareness that better work-life conditions in IB do exist…
Best of luck and hope the work doesn’t take too much of a toll on your physical/mental health.
I will be working like it’s a regular Monday. Tbh can’t even expect your white male corporate bosses to acknowledge Juneteenth as a federal holiday
Awkward moment when white mds and vps are like yeah fuck Juneteenth and there are several black analysts/associates
Yeah I already am planning to work a normal day, just thought it would at least be a WFH and some observance of a holiday given the great DEI initiatives these firms prop up…
I was just looking forward to at least being at home haha
My friend told me WF is off completely.
We're off completely as it should be...
First time?
No, this is my third year...
We are working for this newly created "holiday". We were uninterrupted during Memorial Day though, which is how it should be.
When you put holiday in quotations are you implying that the emancipation of slaves in this country is not worth celebrating? Just curious
Touch grass
Go back to Reddit
Oh cool, I didn't know that's what the holiday was about 😊
Credit Suisse and completely off but who's doing anything there anyways
Having to work holidays is not a flex.
9am client call as well as a 4pm already on the calendar for Monday
EVR is completely off Monday. If you force yourself to work on a holiday where seniors are offline you’re a cuck lol
Really? We worked that day during my SA last year
last year was the first official year of the holiday so guessing teams hadn't gotten the memo yet. A lot of firms are completely off
Not true in many groups including mine
I have Monday off. LMM PE. Honestly forgot this was a holiday. Is it new?
Bud I work in wealth management and I get to come into the office on Monday
Holy… 🤣
Big pitch Monday morning for your boy so not only will I work on Monday, I will work all weekend!
Our US colleagues are WFH on Monday.
My firm is off for it, have 1 call for 30 min with client but asides that we are off
I'm at BofA and we have a three-day protected weekend (Saturday, Sunday, and Monday). This usually the case for these holidays.
Do people usually get a chance to travel for this kind of thing?
yeap! People usually come with small luggage to the office day before as they are head out that night.
Work from home work day.
Every holiday at my bank is a “work from home if you have to work” day. Sometimes it’s a full work day, sometimes I don’t touch my laptop, just depends on the nature of the workload at that moment of time.
100% feel the same way. Nothing is truly, fully protected but seniors are usually not pushing bs work on Christmas or the like.
Was completely off today. Sad that the norm in this industry is to work on holidays
