Most Draconian Policies on the Street

Wanted to make a thread to see what some of the most draconian policies are on the street for topics ranging from clawbacks, protected weekends, pe recruiting, lateralling, hours, food ordering, etc.

IMO I think the most draconian policy on the street is FT Partners clawing back ANALYST performance/year-end bonus and signing bonus if they leave/lateral... even worst is that they claw back gross performance bonus on analysts...

The only other bank that does anything close to this on junior bankers is Jefferies but at least its for Associates and above, not analysts...

 

Im an incoming FT Analyst at CS and nowhere in my offer letter does it mention a performance bonus clawback. I think that was a recently implemented policy on senior bankers. Also Jeff doesnt clawback analyst performance bonuses, only performance bonuses for Associates and higher get clawed back if they leave before 4 years.

 

What’s the legality behind these clawbacks? They have to be mentioned in the offer letter right?
