What the fook do ye need 8 screens for? |
2 Equities Risk systems, 1 Rates/ FX risk system, 2 spreadsheets, 2 Bloomberg and one for mails chats.
Seeing the same with Andy on the hours. Averaging 13 hour days at the min Monday to Friday. Hopefully can get that back down. |
Friend of mine who works in Hedge funds said some of the traders he knows have 12 screens and he said it was close to impossible to do their job with less than 6

Yep. Some in our place have 9 or 12 depending on the config. I would doubt its impossible, but it makes a massive difference to your efficiency

What is killing me about WFH is that everyone else in my company is the same and it really makes a cumulative difference that a lot of people are still sending emails at half 6 and 7 at night whereas in the past they would be shutting down at half 5 and making the commute home. So even if you choose not to work late yourself the night before, you are still coming into a lot more emails the next day, which take time to answer and you only have enough hours in the day and it all builds up.
A lot more people working over the weekend too.
I would say the leaders in my company have probably got comfortable with the productivity they are getting from people during covid I wonder what it will be like when it goes back to normal. Will they have gotten so comfortable that they are expecting the same level of productivity that people are still feeling under pressure to put similar hours in too. I think it will be a tough transition back | can you not call/text them and tell them to f**k off with the out of hour emails? |
Not really. I'm in a global role so get mails from around the world anyway, it's just people are spending a lot more time sending mails and ultimately creating more work to go around. When everyone is doing the same, it's just a build up for everyone. Everyone I talk to is in a similar boat too, its not just me. The official line from the company would be to still work your normal hours and take your breaks and holidays but the volume of work to get through it's been getting harder and harder to even take a half hour lunch.
They even brought in this thing where scheduling a half hour meeting in outlook's, the times slot would only be 25 minutes and for a 1 hour meeting it would be 50 minutes to allow time between meetings, but that has gone out the window too, everyone using the Full time so having to to go back to back to back in calls most days. Its a bloody killer at the moment. The missus the same in her job too. Thank god the kid went back to school today, at least that was something!

That's standard that mails come in at all hours. I have sent and recieved mails at 3 am in the morning. Just because its sent at that time doesnt mean it has to he replied to straight away. You only see the mail when you log in anyway.
Texts out of hours are bad form though. With mails you can just not log in and if you have pull notifications rather than push notifications on your phone it doeant make a difference.

Why don't you just schedule the send for later in the morning? If that was our place they'd be called out on it pretty quickly I'd say

At the risk of angering Trig, I have a random question.
Anyone using a computer all day move from a mouse to a trackerball? Any good?
Also, open to recommendations for ergonomic keyboards......

Horizontal mouse and split keyboard if you are having trouble with wrists, and less masturbation with ur hands of course. If you figure out how to do it hands-free let me know.

Sorry but you'll have to disclose what you do for a living first before we can give any recommendations.
