I now have a reason to buy as many Red limited MMs as possible. unish:

Just save one for me. I'll just visit your man cave and pick it up. PM me your address.

We just got a new expenses tool as well, Fraedom. As well as not being aware of how diphthongs work and that that would be pronounced Fraydom not Freedom, it has only a skeleton of the functionality of its predecessor. It also seems to have been configured bizarrely - I put a mileage and parking claim in together as it was one trip and it rejected it, telling me I had to claim separately and that the rule was one receipt, one claim. I didn't issue myself a receipt for the mileage!

It actually calculates the mileage itself and on a ~150 mile round trip, it came out 9+ miles short of what I'd actually driven. Stupid system.

But I bet for your employers, it's a bargain...

My employers also seem to have this annoying habit of enforcing new rules around expenses before actually announcing them...

It's great when you're at a customer site working your ass off on a project and you get an email saying your expense report has been rejected because of some new chickenshit rule that they didn't tell you about, because then you have to drop everything, fix it, and resubmit the report or risk not getting your reimbursement until next month... and our corporate cards are in our personal name / address; we're responsible for the bill, even though we have to follow the corporate guidelines for using them...

Wow, that's some BS.

Same here, except expense claims aren't paid with payroll but whenever, so at least it's a lot more convenient timing-wise.

I tried to keep it positive, but I had nothing to add to the subject.
