A 110-hour work week? What’s behind another overwork scandal
- Junior bankers at the Baird investment bank were reported to be working over 110 hours per week, leading to hospitalizations and comparisons to 'karoshi,' or death from overwork.

- Previous rules implemented to cap work weeks at 80 hours on Wall Street have been routinely broken, leading to tragic outcomes.
