Guy gets fired, company won't reimburse flights for upcoming work trip: 'Now that I'm not part of the company, I'm obviously not attending said retreat'

Talk about a cheap company! This HR department had to let go of seven employees as a result of budget cuts, but it gets worse. When one of those employees brought up the fact that he would like to be reimbursed for the flights he already purchased for the upcoming work retreat (which he obviously will no longer be attending), HR denied his request! 

Their so-called "explanation" was that the former employee could instead get a flight credit with the airline for a future trip of his own. How ignorant can these people be? This guy is not going on vacation any time soon; he needs to get a job! That's $225 that could be used for groceries.
