When merger-and-acquisition deals need closing, banks rely on the most junior employees for the gruntwork to make sure that multibillion-dollar deals don’t fall apart. Gargantuan workloads push people to sleep under their desks, or have only enough time to take a shower and a short nap, before going back to work. The physical toll this takes on people can be overwhelming.
