Thread regarding PNC layoffs

Not sure what dept you work in but none of my dinners have ever not been covered. Even ones that 80+. Granted I don’t usually eat breakfast on company unless it’s a protein bar.

I have expensed and been paid for dinners that cashed out after 9 PM. As long as you’re under the spending limit, you shouldn’t have anything to worry about.

I have not worried about the time at which I had dinner and guess what - every expense report has been approved. It isn’t even going to attract attention if your dinner spend is below the threshold that requires a receipt. Problem solved.

@a7 so, just to clarify further: YOU denied yourself FOOD because the COMPANY wouldn’t pay for it after 9:00 pm? Dude….. I’m not sure you have the appropriate critical thinking skills for a job that requires sufficient discernment to decide when and if to, you know, EAT. $10 at a Wendy’s would avoid survival mode.

Appreciate the venting, but if your lifestyle is such that every know and then you “only” get $40 for dinner and $20 for breakfast, you’re doing pretty well. Companies don’t generally pay for lunch whether traveling or not, unless it’s a business meeting. “Ya gotta eat lunch regardless” ok fine, so why pay for other meals? I traveled for decades…. Dinner was often a club sandwich and a warm soda in my room. Throw some nuts in your bag and do a bit of planning, you’ll be fine.

@ae I don't work for this company but work for an international tech company. It's toxic everywhere. AI is taking over jobs and everyone is watching out for themselves. You can't blame them since everyone needs to put food on the table and roof over their heads.

Yea and its becoming toxic too.

@OP Hope the hotel includes complimentary breakfast. Set your alarm clock so you don't miss it. By the way, it's good to fast once in a while. Drink lots of water, fill the stomach and go to sleep. Relax and breath easily. It's only a job, not your life. Just don't stress yourself, enjoy the trip while you're their, and just do the minimum that you need to. The juniors will learn on their own with a little struggle, just like the rest of us.

To clarify, I am hungry because I was only allowed to use my dinner money until 9 PM. $40 doesn’t go far for dinner. And only $20 for breakfast.
