Bank of America says it is stepping up its oversight of young bankers’ workloads, the firm’s latest change since the death of an employee working 100-hour weeks sparked an outcry across Wall Street. The bank previously relied on midlevel employees on one-year rotations to assign work to its thousands of junior investment bankers.

The reduction comes weeks after Bank of America let go of staff in its investment banking and global markets divisions globally, Reuters reported.

The layoffs are part of an annual process to cut under-performers. However, deal volumes have also fallen below expectations in the first half of the year.
