Career Resources
Based on previous WSO threads, Barclays has announced a policy requiring employees to be in the office 4 days a week, not 5. This policy also includes the removal of at-home meal expenses, even on weekends. This change has caused significant frustration among junior employees, who feel that the post-COVID improvements in work-life balance and perks are being rolled back. The sentiment among many is that this move, combined with other factors like disappointing bonuses, is making it difficult for juniors to stay motivated and consider long-term careers at the bank.
