The e-mail was sent to several work colleagues at 7.02am Sunday morning. It was headed 'Sorry everyone' and started off right to the point with 'I'm leaving the bank now. I'm not made to do this'. The young banker then went on to complain that he was fed up doing 'mindless text editing, copy and pasting and getting yelled at for stuff other people can't / won't / don't do'.
He continues that 'It's 6.43am on a Sunday, and I have at least 14 more hours of work to do today that will not be fulfilling, useful, appreciated, recognised, or paid for.
Sorry this is last minute, but it's not worth doing more.
My blackberry is on my desk'.
The banker goes on: 'There is no happiness here.
I took all my personal stuff''.
Another investment banker's dreams shattered - yet still these young bucks fight to get into firms just to start off doing the photocopying and the grunt work!
