Anyone else? Had to cancel all weekend and holiday plans.
Of course seniors are "out if pocket rest of day" but they need a complete deck asap so juniors grind 15 hour days on memorial day weekend.
Honestly can't do this anymore. It's not the hours, but the level of disrespect on our time.

Am really sorry man, that's super super shitty.
Fire drills annoy tf out of me because bar live deals, they're almost never real emergencies. One of my MDs is notorious for commissioning work over weekends and not looking at it for days after.
Same here at my MM. Entire weekend. Rest of group has been drunk the entire weekend…
The best are the Assoc’s and VPs that will assure you that they are used to the grind and you need to do your part as well-even though for many of them half of their careers or more were COVID-remote.
This industry is full of actors/frauds. Push ALL the work onto the Analysts by saying they’re in a reviewing capacity, then they don’t review shit, and then throw you under the bus when the work isn’t perfect…..after they collect 5x comp as you
My personal favorite is when you’re working with an Assoc and VP, both telling you how important and close the deadlines are, but neither of them can find the time to chip in any work….even tho they collectively make 8X what you make…and you do all the work
Good buddy I was supposed to see this weekend works MM with supposed protected Saturday worked the entire weekend. Not for 8 hours a day. More like 16. He’s still in the office and probably will be until 2 am. He’s ready to leave. Even had an intern there with him most of weekend.
Still working boys.
Didn't leave my apartment since Friday night for more than id say 5 minutes total. I don't even know what the weather was like the past 72 hours(wasn't outside).
Are you at a BB? Should send out resume for lateral bc they have cushy headcount - friends at BBs all work less than slammed EBs/MMs
Bb thats supposedly chill (not true!)
