> The issue isn't nights or weekends. The issue is: constant lack of organisation (i.e. everything is urgent and last minute), and not hiring enough staff.

this seems to be the main issue. Most other industries which require night work, 24 hour shifts etc have solved these issues DECADES ago already. Either by some kind of rotation/scheduling system, or by having multiple shifts.

These Wall Street banks (and FAANGs, etc.) outsource stuff to companies that do exactly that. Well, once they paid overtime, then they added shifts, and then they replaced the US-based third shift with one in the opposite time zone.

Maybe it's the difference between the people that are seen as bringing in money and the areas that are seen as just costs?
