Have you ever worked for a company whose rules about expense reimbursement seem pretty unreasonable?

Employers need to be careful not to push their employees too far!

This is what happens when they give their employees a hard time!

So if you happen to be a boss or a manager, pay attention to what’s going on in this story from Reddit, because it might save you some headaches later on.

Check out what happened!

I spent too much on a meal? Okay I’ll abide by the new rules.

“I had to travel sometimes for conferences/meetings and had a company credit card.

There was no set limit on what you could spend on a meal, just as long as it was reasonable.

Earlier during the day bouncing between airports I just used Apple Pay that was connected to my personal account since it was easier than digging my wallet out of my carry on. I maybe spent $12 on food that day from my personal account so I wasn’t really worried about getting reimbursed.

Come dinner time I am starving.

It was a bit pricey…

The hotel I was staying at had a restaurant where waiters will come every so often with a different barbecued meat. Eating here cost $60 or something along those lines.

I didn’t think of it as a big deal since it was typical for other employees to spend $20-$30 per meal and I was technically under budget for the day.

So nothing is said to me immediately, however there was a special meeting with the committee I was on to change the meal policy to $25 per meal.

I knew it was because of me.

I can handle that!

So from then on, I’d spend exactly $25 on each meal, including breakfast if I was out.

If my wife was with me (some of these conferences were in Las Vegas, New Orleans, San Diego, etc. so mini vacation for her) I would charge them the higher priced meal between the two of us.”

There’s nothing like maxing out your per diem!
