new character? ok. herbert (he's austrian, yo) in marketing went over his per diem by $165 while at a conference last week.

$165 in one day.

he's been here for years. decades, even. is claiming he's never been told that there was a max he could spend on food per day. is screaming, threatening to go to central HR.

our HR is like, get the receipts; see if we can handle this. his lunch receipt has a $64 salad on it. what? what the hell kind of salad is that, you have to wonder. and who has the balls to order that when traveling for work at a non profit?

He hooked up with someone and wanted to look good. Unless hes a VP or above and hes entertaining a serious client, that claim should be denied..... - Walt_Disney Apr 13, 08:41
The problem is probably "has been here for decades". People start to say that it owes them a $64 "salad", - spamlet Apr 13, 08:35 2

Was it lobster salad? - Will Hunting Apr 13, 08:24
I'm guessing that salad came with a side order of Boobs in His Face. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 13, 08:24 1

$165 over what amount? -- nm - Ultron Apr 13, 08:23
I wonder if he has been doing this for years and no one noticed until now -- nm - Epiphany Apr 13, 08:22
Let him go screaming to HR. Dude is all talk, and knows he'd lose. -- nm - MDH Apr 13, 08:18
tossed salad? -- nm - budice Apr 13, 08:17
I must see that salad for myself -- nm - Beaker Apr 13, 08:16

  - i am trying to imagine a $64 salad, i am failing. Unless it was some chilled lobster with champagne dressed on a bed of rare mushroom salad or some - Andie Apr 13, 08:20 6
    - maybe he bought an entire salad bar - decline Apr 13, 08:35

      - oh, i'm sure they exist, but you would have to be at the absolutely most expensive place in town. -- nm - Andie Apr 13, 08:22 1
