Can bankers be fired for demanding sleep?
Description
JPMorgan Chase is in talks to provide banking services to US President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace, and investors have warned that loosening the UK’s borrowing limits to fund more spending on defence would risk a bond market backlash and a self-defeating rise in borrowing costs. Plus, the White House says the New York Fed should be disciplined for a recent report, and a former investment banker is suing over her right to get eight hours of sleep per night.
