<p>I know plenty of people who work in NYC and elsewhere who have to work >14 hour days do not get paid cab rides and dinners. If the work is there, you HAVE to stay, no matter what. That’s just reality. Just ask any programmers and engineers who have deadlines. My son works in PE, workdays are >12 hours. He doesn’t get these perks. He used to when he was in IB. His morale is great since he still has a job and was given a promotion several weeks ago.</p>
