&gt;  the employee that competitors don't have 
  
 This is Wells Fargo **Securities**, meal reimbursement is standard in investment banking, the employees are expected to work more than 12 hours a day.

Is it?  I honestly dont know.  My only experience is when my mom did securities years ago for a smaller bank.  She worked hard and did OT, but I dont think she ever did a 12 hour shift.  She sure as hell wasn't making 6 figures, even while being top of her branch.  Maybe she got free meals. 
  
 Every place I've worked, once in awhile a manager would buy me a soda or a gift card and that was usually me covering their ass for their mistake.
