Um if I am traveling because my company requested that I leave the comfort of my home get on a plane and be somewhere else. Then I am going to feel a 100% NOT guilty that I would like to get a nice hotel to the $270/night they are offering. Which means I usually get $250/night. Today one of the suggested hotels from my manager was over this limit so I began searching for other options. My other coworker starts saying “IM TAKING CARE OF IT” and that he’s aware we have “higher maintenance people” in our team and that “it won’t be a bad hotel”. And then he chose a hotel for $160/night.
I said I would find my own hotel but he said that’s ridiculous and we should all stay in the same location to save transportation costs (Uber/lyft).
And then acclaimed that since he will be going a day early to visit family he was planning on only expensing for half of his trip.
Idk maybe cause I am younger (mid 20s) that I don’t give a shit if my fucking rich ass giant corporation of a company ends up paying for my hotel stay and I try to max out the hotel limit. But HOLY SHIT the condescending tone and proudness of not only saving the company money but ALSO on top of the unrelated “yea I didn’t have time to enjoy personal things in life because of work” is really fucking annoying when they try to flex that shit.
IM SO FUCKING ANNOYED
And as a big FUCK YOU I’m booking whatever the fuck hotel I want. And if anyone comments I will tell them to fuck themselves (but most likely that it is not company policy we have to stay together and that I don’t understand why they are so invested in what I do)
