People who eat meat (me included) do not need to eat meat at every single meal. So what if the company events will be vegetarian and you expenses dinners will have to as well? You can still eat meat whenever you want. They just won’t be paying for it.
Our cantina has vegitarian days and no-one hardly even notices. Though if you have a meat addiction and absolutely need 200g at every meat, you can just bring your own lunch.
I feel people are far to religious about this. Bring back the outrage when any of their employees starved to death.
There are companies who don’t have company events at all and who don’t let employees expense any meals at all. Shouldn’t they be the real “tyrants”?
