Just in - Meal Reimbursement during WFH
My bank just announced that we can expense dinner like usual while working remotely. Anyone else have this?
I am thinking:
1) mini-bonus for Analysts and Associates who have been constantly busy for months or..
2) a way to encourage people moving back to NYC. Getting people thinking they can move out of their parents house, back into NYC, and not have to spend money on dinner as it was in the good ol (pre-covid) days.
Note** - this news came in about a 1-2 weeks before we get our bonus numbers so I am hoping there is no correlation such as "well bonus was ok but now you can charge clients $25 worth of dinner"..
Another kicker "Although weekend meals are eligible, we encourage people to take a break on weekends"
My bank has allowed expensing dinners for months now.
Yeah this has been a thing at most banks for months with varying levels of $ and checkpoints to get that cash (after 8pm, lunch on weekends, after 10 hours, etc.), just like in the office. I think Evercore has a weekly grocery stipend but I might be thinking of a different bank.
Banks haven't been expensing dinners? That was a huge perk of working in the office lol. Who has time to make food at home.... basically trading a $25 seamless take out meal for frozen hot pockets
Mine doesn't. I consistently eat toaster strudels, nature valley protein bars, and then rely on delivery for dinner...
nothing from citi
CitiNotaBB
would have to agree lol - idk why citi being so cheap and now this whole 500mm revlon thing will only make everything worse fml
If my bank doesn't start offering meal by EOM, I am advertising that it's not a BB in every college kids ranking thread.
Suspicious timing before bonus numbers...oh well, may as well enjoy the free sushi, right?
My bank has been doing this since start of WFH, know many others have been too.
Yep we got the email yesterday about expensing dinners. Today is comp discussion... fingers crossed
What bank was this
Barclays
I know that there is a thread on it, but does anyone have a somewhat finalized or up-to-date list? Can't contribute because I left sales and trading at BB and heading to IBD this summer, so not really in the know.
how did you make the switch from S&T to IB? through internal job postings or was it through networking?
B school
FinanceGod posted a list on IG, seems to be the most recent list.
They may have been shadow banned bc they're not coming up
maybe im missing something, but how would this encourage people to move back into NYC if they can expense dinner from their parents' home?
