When entertaining clients. Which are also the majority of my T&E reimbursements. If I invite a client to a lunch or dinner meeting, there's absolutely no way I'm going to dictate what they can and can't order. But if they order meat, is my expense report going to get rejected?
I'm not in sales, so I don't have outrageous meal expenses. But I do a fair bit of client servicing and I'd raise hell if my company created a policy that introduces ambiguity and risk around whether or not I'll have to eat the cost every time I'm expected to have a meal with a client.
- smt88 8y agoI have been courted by WeWork, and our company was never wined and dined. I've never heard of them doing that, which makes sense because most of their tenants are small spenders. Many are individuals. Some employees may do it, but I doubt it's a significant portion of expensed meals. I'm going to bet that the majority are catered food and team outings, which I've observed at WeWork on many occasions.
