My favorite BS work story

Was at a startup, and was asked to travel to NYC for work. Was not issued a credit card and put in a shit no-tell motel for 5 days. Called my boss who was staying at a Hilton down the street to pay the check in deposit and he responded “did you try to put it on your debit card?” I said yes and it declined (I was broke, had been out of work for a while.) he responded “just put it on your personal AMEX and I’ll reimburse you in 60 days.” I didn’t have a personal AMEX. He told me to get a personal AMEX or I would lose my job. Didn’t get reimbursed for almost 3 months.
