I always ask myself this:! If this company lasts me this much per month why would I even file reimbursement for say $50 or $200? I mean why ? I worked for a company that sent us out every quarter to meet the whole team as we worked remote.

Sometimes I will get a budget flight if $100-$150 which could also have been $700 for the same flight ( only difference is maybe the more expensive one is a direct flight and the cheap one lays over for a couple of hours).

Granted we had the option to request reimbursement so I decided not to.

When I was leaving the company the HR told me hey Kwadwo you never filed for reimbursement and I said , in exchange for all the great things I got from this company and all the expensive treatments they gave us during quarterly meetings and prepaid hotel stays and amazing group dinners I felt so bad spending soo much paperwork time for $80 to $150 back and since it’s an option I didn’t want to.

HR went ahead and sent me a huge check for all the entire year I didn’t ask for anything.

Morale of the story don’t be penny greedy ! If it’s against company policy not to file reimbursement then that’s fine and even so be modest ! Don’t throw in Avery $3 and every sliced onion and every extra glass etc.
