Under his watch, the financial industry has already experienced vast automation and productivity increases. The coding and connections between financial firms and banks has cut what used to take days into an automated process that takes fractions of seconds… Yet it’s the norm to still work extremely long hours.

It seems disingenuous that this person who has reaped the rewards of this productivity increase without passing the time savings down the chain actually believes shorter work week is likely.
