This is why good labor protection laws is good nor just for blue collar workers. If I took a position at one of these banks in Sweden they might have the impression I’m willing to work 50 or 60 hour weeks. Once it becomes clear to them I’m not working more than 40, they’ll still owe me several months pay to get rid of me if that doesn’t suit them. They really can’t afford to hire people and hope they live up to these ridiculous hours. The only way to get people to do it would be to hire people on rock bottom salaries and only pay well once they prove they’ll work the 80h weeks, or keep a lot of of the comp as bonuses that pays out after a long employment. In neither of those cases I’d be interested in being employed there.
