Goldman Sachs - "In humane" working conditions?

[mattster]

I'm not sure who you have worked for but most of my employers have insisted that I sign the 48hr opt out since it was created. It is toothless and needs reviewing.

I have been salaried since the early 90s with overtime not an option except when contracting.

Same with the opt out. What is even the point of such an "employee protection" measure if you can simply be asked (forced, let's be realistic) to sign away the "right" as a condition of employment? A day off in lieu, or perhaps even an afternoon off and a couple of beers, was about as good as it got for compensation for weeks of overtime.

I take it you've never been to Canary Wharf's shopping mall then? They don't have Hugo Boss, Mont Blanc and similar outlets for nobody to spend money in.

Oooo. I've got loadsamoney. I'll buy another suit and a pen. Hardly enjoying your money is it?

It’s Parker rather than BIC

Easy way to fix it, signing the opt out results in overtime payments 1.5 times weekdays and 2-3 times for weekends and Bank holidays.

Once the employer has to pay they work out how to do without!

It is in their materialist world.

I know someone who is ex-goldmans and is now a British Gas engineer. He says he is much happier and his family life is much better even with a 70% pay cut!
