Just joined corporate again after getting eliminated from the startup life.
in past organizations (corp & startup) I’ve gotten a corporate card since my role requires me to travel/have a lot of expenses. That’s always been super helpful because it’s not risking my personal line of credit.
This new company is huge, so it’s really frustrating me how they expect us to front everything on our own CC’s. It makes me so uncomfortable – It takes forever to get reimbursed and after a layoff there isn’t much bandwidth for me to be able to front, alongside my own expenses. How is an org this big not able to provide resources for their employees?! The expenses are a few hundred to THOUSANDS (flights, accommodations, sponsorships, etc.). I mean, I guess I can get credit card points. But the turnaround time to get reimbursed just gives me so much anxiety.
I don’t even know how I can communicate my frustrations in a valid light – thoughts?
