My company is sending me out of town for training after the 1st of the year. I have to successfully complete one month in accelerated courses to pass my probationary period.
Funny. They still haven’t ‘officially’ given me the job, but they are organizing my training.
As we sorted out hotel accommodations, they reviewed my per diem rates for food, gas, etc. The budget manager tapped on my plastic company card, ‘OK Rebekah, we both know you don’t eat much and you’ll never get anywhere near spending all of your allowance. Don’t be tempted to drink the difference. Alcoholic beverages are not covered’ he said with a wink.
They take away all the fun.
It’s been a while since I’ve flown on tickets purchased by my employer.
Traveling on someone else’s dime is always a lot more fun.
