Now they tell us. After years of hearing that it was impossible to restructure jobs to make them more doable, guess what? According to The Wall Street Journal, when Goldman Sachs discovered it couldn’t attract and retain the most promising recruits with pay and perks alone, it woke up to the idea that you can actually restructure the way work is done. Earlier this year, Goldman formed a task force made up of senior staff to improve quality of life for junior employees. The group is trying to find ways to help young employees adhere to a five-day workweek without all-nighters and ruined weekends.
