Are any bankers working today? (July 5th)
Does anyone have to work today? My firm instated a mandatory July 4th protected weekend but I just got hit with comments today. Anyone else in the same boat?

Yes. Put in 6 hours Saturday, 4 hours yesterday. Hoping to work less than 6 today to actually enjoy some downtime.
Less work than I expected tbh. Not like I chose this career for WLB but some extra free time is always kinda nice
Yes. On the 4th too. Not long hours but the precedent still blows
Yup.
July & December are generally the busiest months IMO - both because decision makers want to get things done before Fiscal Year End/Holidays or August, when things slow to a crawl. July is arguably worse for juniors because all the 2nd year analysts have departed for gardening leave, so you have 1 year experience Analysts getting JAMMED with all the hard stuff and interns/newbies taking on normal-way stuff. Everything takes 50% longer at least and you can't, as either a newly 2nd year analyst or associate, count on anyone at all. Mix in my fellow MBAs just joining the desk (no hate, I was a duckling once too) who still think that their corp fin class actually matters and sends the intern on a goosechase and it's a fucking recipe for disaster.
It's actually hilariously similar - in a way less world-impacting way - as why you NEVER want to get injured on 4th of July weekend, because that's when all the recent med school grads start at their hospitals.
The medical one doesnt have credible evidence
