Think we all need to take a step back and realize that the hours we work are objectively ridiculous. We'd have much less brain drain and burnout in the industry if we quit perpetuating this mentality and had a little more respect for our own and our colleagues' health and existence

@DB1 I think productivity would greatly go up in Ibanking if people recognize that bankers actually have uneven work flows and can have nothing to do from 9am to 5pm and only have work assigned at 5pm. Instead of allowing more flexibility with office time (ie if you don't have anything assigned relax at home, but be ready to make it into the office in 30 minutes if something happens like a doctor), senior bankers like to perpetuate the myths of nose to ground constant work, which means rather than relaxing during those downtimes people only get further exhausted and don't have energy once they're finally given a task.
