Cheap company refuses to reimburse employee $20 because they didn't keep receipts, so employee racks up a $280 bill on the next work trip: ‘I went all in’

Work trips often come with the company you work for and the role you work in. The highlight of a work trip is that you get to charge the company card—hopefully. If your job is making you cover the costs of dinners, hotels, and cabs… Quit immediately. A company card is like the apple in the Garden of Eden. It is so tempting to indulge, but once you do, you might not be able to stop…

The employee in this story sure didn't stop. However, he had malicious compliance in mind when he spent almost $300 work of company funds just to be petty. These companies have cash to spare, right? What's $300 dollars to them?

It all started when the employee asked to be reimbursed for $20. He didn't have receipts to back up the purchase, so his request was denied. So on the next work trip, he lived like Eloise at the Plaza. See how it unfolds below.
