The issue is not anyone alleging that staff are being forced to work there. The issue is: analysts are often told they won't do 100 hours, and that most of these people will leave and do something else which isn't a good outcome for the employer. Adding more analysts does fix it. The amount of work does not increase exponentially as you add more analysts, it is unchanged (that is why they are hiring more people, no-one expected this to be such a big year for capital markets...most places just haven't hired enough). Same amount of work, more analysts, less work per analyst.
