Have a friend who's company made him fly out on a Sunday afternoon (thus having to pay him both overtime and a per diem) and stay at a hotel (which the company obviously paid for), because there where only business class tickets left for the Monday morning flight and company had a strict "no business class" policy. The price difference between the two tickets was less than $100.
- alistairSH 8y agoYeah, I've seen similar stupidity at my employer. Most recently a trip to San Diego (from DC) for a convention. Convention was Sunday-Wednesday and travel was only approved on those days. Not only were the Saturday fares less expensive by about $300, which was roughly in line with hotel cost, they were also direct. All the Sunday flights had layovers in the normal mid-western hubs. Seemed like a no-brainer to allow the Saturday travel, but nope, it required special approval from a VP.
