I love it when companies nickel-and-dime on expenses. Do they really think that folks aren't gonna get it back some other way? A friend was once challenged (by Finance, not his manager) over a dime for a pay toilet. His manager came to him and said "Just bury it somewhere else"-he realized it was stupid, but not a winnable fight. Probably a firing offense for both, but c'mon...
I may have told this story, but I was at a customer site in Chicago about 15 years ago. At lunchtime, it was clear that as The Vendor, we were buying. That was fine with us until the customer headed down a street that dead-ends at the river, and we realized that the only sign we could see was for a strip club. My cow-orker and I were sharing glances and muttering "YOU get to expense this one". Fortunately, just short of the club, the customer veered into an almost-invisible hole-in-the-wall deli, so we didn't have to try to fight that battle! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
