Company refuses to reimburse employee's work travel expenses, claiming he spent too much, prompting employee's $1000 retaliation and resignation

The majority of workers fantasize about taking business trips. You are free to follow your own career path and see different cultures around the globe. Nonetheless, when an employee travels only for work, it is customary, if not required, for the company to cover the necessary costs to ensure the worker enjoys a pleasant stay. So, how would you respond if the business declined to cover necessities such as food?

The story below is an account of a frustrated worker. The original poster (OP) describes an incident that occurred during a work trip more than 20 years ago. According to OP, his management gives him a fifty-dollar daily budget, which he can spend on food. Every now and then he would go without food, in which case he would treat himself to a tasty but affordable meal with the additional money. The company, instead of reimbursing him for his out-of-pocket expenses, insisted that he pay the price for allegedly 'breaching' their agreement and exceeding the budget when they discovered that the money had been spent in a single day as opposed to over the course of a week.

Since OP was not happy with his firm, as you may have guessed by now, he devised a cunning strategy to get even, which resulted in the company paying $1,000 more than it should have. So, if you're curious to learn what happened next and how he exacted his vengeance, make sure to read the story below!
