I swear some orgs have travel expense reimbursement protocols designed to make you kinda give up and just eat the costs if it isn't too high. From now on, I'm gonna check up on those protocols before saying yes to traveling for an event, wtf.

In 2020, requiring people to print out, hand-fill and scan/return travel expense reports with some bullshit proof of lowest cost tickets etc. is... something. If I billed at my consulting rate, my time doing this would cost more than what they owe me.

Even the best digital solution (like Expensify) is bound by really strict IRS audit rules that want copies of all but the smallest receipts. But yeah, using actual paper in this day is unacceptable.

My fave expense policy was the German company that limited alcohol to 25% of a meal bill. So if you just wanted drinks you just ordered extra food to get to 3x the drink cost
