Ridiculous Workplace Policy Leaves Disgruntled Employee Compliantly Spending To The Limit

Most companies offer some form of reimbursement for travel expenses, it's called a "per diem" for the less fancy folks amongst us. We aren't too familiar with company reimbursements but we are very familiar with corporate greed so this one hit close to home. All we can say is- take advantage of every leniency your employer offers you. Sometimes it just does not pay off to be the good guy, and the loss of a few extra bucks OP spent on food will do no harm to the big guys' pockets. Much to our dismay, the world is full of unreasonable bosses and ridiculous company policies.
