What do EY folks with hotel status (i.e. lounge access) usually do for breakfast? Do you just take whatever complimentary breakfast and just not bother expensing breakfast? Or is that how folks manage to charge their 2nd breakfast?

Right. Plus they can’t tell you when you can eat breakfast.

A2 yes eventually I caught on to why so many EY people aimed for free breakfast. Lord one of the things I don’t miss about EY. All that wasted time
people must spend figuring out how to game a dumb policy. Happily spent $9 for breakfast, $10 for lunch, $38 for dinner and some snacks and so happy no one GAF!

It’s also not a per diem, it’s expense up to those amount but you don’t get the delta in cash.

What's a second breakfast?

Yeah, the policy clearly sucks and the firm should get that. Problem is lunch never cost you only $10, especially in tier 1 cities and it does add up eventually unfortunately.

Yes they do not reimburse for lunch so it’s on your own dime. People have a “second breakfast”. Also anything over $25 must have a receipt. (Worked for EY for 2 years)

Just expense lunch as dinner - been doing it for the past 5 years. Get your work done and no one at the top will be nit picking your expenses. EY Manager for reference.

You can have like five different expense items labeled as dinner as long as it’s under $50 no one cares
