Boss asked me to go to the post office and mail a package for them. When I got there I realized I forgot to bring the company debit card. I didn't have time to go all the way to back to work just to pick up the debit card, so I paid for it using my own money and figured the company would reimburse me (big mistake).
Now the company is saying they can't reimburse me because I “paid for it on my own accord”, and there's nothing they can do. I practically begged them to help me but they just cited vague company policy terms and how they don't have a procedure for reimbursing employees in this situation. I know I'm an idiot for paying for it in the first place, I guess I really underestimated how crappy my employer is.
This was a big package being sent overseas so the shipping was expensive — it cost nearly two days wages for me. I needed this money to pay my cell phone bill and now I'm worried my phone will get disconnected
What to do?
