If you’ve ever submitted an expense report, you know it can feel like a gamble at times. Sometimes it gets approved right away, and other times, you would think you were trying to expense a five-star steak dinner and a limousine ride.
Most of us just want to be paid back for the basics, like gas for a work errand or a quick lunch during back-to-back meetings. However, HR loves rules, and they particularly enjoy enforcing them.
That brings us to one of the most satisfying stories I’ve seen in a while. One employee got denied reimbursement for going just a few bucks over the lunch limit. So instead of letting it slide, he got to work combing through past expenses and hit the company back with over $6,000 in petty charges.
If you have ever wanted to get even in the pettiest way possible, this is a must-read.
