i’m 23 and i work as a financial analyst. because of reduced revenue, we’ve started cutting down on spending but it seems like they’re mainly targeting random employee expenses like friday lunches which cost about $250 total a week, and less variety in snacks/drinks in the office which we buy from costco.
i don’t mind this because i understand and they’re not required to provide these things, but what bothers me is when i find $100+ overcharges on invoices and my boss tells me to just ignore it because it’s “not material”. just last week i caught two mistakes on invoices that totaled just over $500. i don’t know but if this were my company, i wouldn’t be shelling over free money to million dollar firms, but maybe i’m just crazy and poor enough that it’s material to me.
i had also suggested we start paying some of our eligible expenses with our credit cards because we could get thousands of dollars in points that way annually. nobody really cared to listen 🤷️
