'You know this call cost more than your meal, right?': Traveling businessman works a 14-hour shift then uses a long-distance phone call to the bean-counters to prove an expensive point about meal reimbursements
This traveling businessman had had enough of their silly company policy because after a 14-hour shift and with no motivation to go out to a restaurant, this worker pointed out the flaws in his micromanager's meal reimbursement rules.
If you've ever traveled for work, you know it's no vacation.
Somehow, traveling employees end up working egregiously long hours, awaiting micromanager's orders, and eating takeout for every meal. While this is a dream for some, it's a nightmare for homebodies and anyone who enjoys a home-cooked meal every now and then. But when the guy in this next story, a businessman out of the country for work, got home from a terribly long day, all he wanted was a simple meal delivered to his hotel room. Per company policy, and because he had a helicopter manager, the guy was forbidden to order room service–no matter what!
So instead of paying out of pocket, the employee played out his patience on a long-distance phone call, waiting for 10 minutes on hold for his micromanager to approve a single meal reimbursement, accruing an insane amount of cellular fees for the sake of proving a point. Keep scrolling for this delicious compliance that ended in an exhausted worker getting to put his feet up for a change on an out-of-town shift.
