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.

Bank of America has eliminated 150 junior banker jobs in its investment bank, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters on Tuesday.

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.

Reuters reported Bank of America, the nation's second-largest bank, has been streamlining its investment banking workforce globally. The reduction, an annual exercise, comes weeks after Bank of America let go of staff in its investment banking and global markets divisions globally as part of an annual performance review process.
