The 21-year-old quickly found herself working what the industry euphemistically calls “banker’s hours” – often 100 to 120 hours per week, with some stretches requiring work “around the clock.” Suffering from anxiety disorder, Shiber requested a reasonable accommodation: eight hours of sleep per night. Instead of working with her on the request, Centerview Partners fired her via Zoom call after just three months on the job.
