My Work Experience I went on work experience for a week in June at Natwest Bank in Bakewell. Natwest is part of a larger organisation called the Royal Bank of Scotland Group. The Royal Bank of Scotland bought Natwest in March 2000 for £21 billion which was the biggest take-over in British banking history.

The first article that I read was “Work Pressure Demands more Downtime than a Fleeting Week Off.” It was a very interesting take on how the world that we live in can become a place of pressure and breakdowns. The workplace and the home place no longer exist. The people that this study was conducted on became a product of their work and could no longer separate themselves from it. According to “Work Pressure Demands more Downtime,” “A 13-year study of four cohorts of investment bankers illustrates
