They are probably worried about the 'moral hazard' of giving folks a credit card they are free to use for work.

But so much more accountability.

ION - hey, I got a raise! But actually honestly more important to me, I got my team member who got shafted last year a raise! I may have burned all my bridges with HR over this, but it worked!

I mean, I'll take the money and appreciate the recognition, no lie. But K's raise is more of a JUSTICE IS DONE moment for me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Very nice, brenda!!

My god, why is it only Wednesday?

I know, this week has already been approximately 3 million years long.

But so much more accountability.

That's what I meant. You deserve a raise. And congrats on getting your previously shafted team member a raise, that is awesome!

Researching a $4 price discrepancy from a year and a half ago is SO FUN AND WORTHWHILE. I'm glad it didn't turn out to be something that happened while I was on vacation, at least, because I did take a week off in the middle of that month and I would hate to have to blame my backup (I don't actually know who I am blaming right now, gremlins in the software is what it looks like, although ultimately it is the customer who sent us their orders with a higher price than they were supposed to, so to my mind it is their fault, but I think we were supposed to have something in place to catch that, but NOT MY BACKUP'S FAULT is good) but the orders came in around my vacation, not during.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

YAY Brenda!

The only reason I have my own work credit card here is that I am the only librarian here. SF has to share one, and sometimes they borrow mine when theirs isn't working.

Yay Brenda!!

Not having a company card is really awkward for anyone who has financial issues. If you can't afford to charge on your own card and wait for reimbursement, or you only have a debit card??

Especially if it's a matter of book the travel in advance, have to pay the credit card bill before you even travel, and then wait a couple of weeks to be reimbursed after submitting the expense report. Sucks mightily.

Our wings are not tired

My two senior full time employees have business credit cards

If I can't trust them with the credit card, I have no idea how I could trust them to handle our clients.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Yay Brenda!
