Ah yes, the famous "Wall Street work" quote and "we pay the highest starting salary" boast.
A few years later and they've suddenly gone quiet.

Is this a form of workplace abuse?
I am not trolling.
My boss punished me to write a memo on the use of oxford comma just because I used and she didn’t like it and red inked all over my draft. She didn’t allow the use.
I even had to present my funding to everyone in my team.
This is humiliating.
I even cried thinking about this.

Not so extreme for me as to write a memo and present it to the office, but for me I was scolded for using the Oxford comma. It’s damn stupid imo. There’s no right or wrong. It boils down to style. And worse my bosses not from oxford they don’t even have locus standi.

My opinion is you all trainees should stand up against abuse. Complain to employment tribunal. Make it known. Get newspaper to come n cover
