Bank of America Is Cracking Down on Overwork for Junior Bankers and Capping Hours to ‘Only’ 80 a Week. Here’s Why.

Bank of America is making changes to its working hours policies less than a year after the death of 35-year-old junior banker Leo Lukenas III, who had reportedly put in 110-hour weeks for a month while working on a $2 billion acquisition.

Though the coroner’s report didn’t tie his death to overwork, it has led Bank of America to reevaluate its hours and oversight structure.

According to a report by the Wall Street Journal, Bank of America has now tasked select senior bankers at the director level and up with ensuring that junior employees, or associates and analysts, work within the bank’s 80-hour workweek limit.
