WFH or not, you pay your lunch and order dinner at the firm’s expense
Is it like that across the board for interns?
As far as I know, food was not comped this last summer at BofA (WFH).
They worked 50 hours a week
Should’ve clarified that I interned. Aside from training, was working ~14 hour days so dinner would have been comped if in the office.
I don‘t think any WFH SAs got dinner allowance maybe few exceptions
How about if back in the office?
SAs usually get dinner allowance if in the office
Seriously ? so you’re expected to take 1/2h off to cook ? As analysts at least we def have dinners expensed.
in a non-covid/wfh environment, does Jefferies comp dinners and is the value 30 bucks?
Jefferies doesn’t comp dinner. In fact they don’t want you to eat. They only want superhuman employees, and if you’re not one of them you won’t get a return. Hope this helps, best of luck at your internship
Jefferies interns get a diner allowance if eating in the office (no outside meals)
What about UBS and DB?
Thread title is about policy at BBs.
UBS and DB are not BBs.
Isn't this joke getting a bit tiresome.
What about Barclays?
No dinner allowance during WFH, even for analysts
BB had comped dinner policy but this is frowned upon if summers use this while working from home. Don't do it or you'll be seen as an opportunistic cheap bastard.
