Workers still feeling the Wall Street blues

Fierce in-fighting. Bullying. Stress. Few pay raises.

 

That’s how most workers describe life on Wall Street these days, according to a survey of about 100 financial professionals by Options Group, a New York executive search firm, CNNMoney reported.

 

Survey participants were asked about their satisfaction with their job, their firm, their pay and their prospects.

 

Fifty percent said they were unhappy in all four areas, Options Group said.

 

“In a lot of cases keeping your job is your bonus,” said one anonymous U.S.-based trader who works at a European bank.

 

The negative results aren’t a one-time blip. Options Group conducts the survey twice a year and said it hasn’t noticed a meaningful change over the past three years.
