Fired Over A $2,000 Bill, Hired By The Billionaire Client

The second my boss, Greg Miller, saw the $2,300 travel expense on my reimbursement form, he called me straight into his office.

"Why the hell is your round-trip travel expense twenty-three hundred dollars?"

"Flights are on sale right now. A round-trip ticket is barely a thousand bucks. Are you telling me you didn't know that?"

I said calmly, "I knew. But company policy clearly states that regular staff on business trips must take Amtrak."

He slammed his hand on the desk, furious. "Flights are cheaper! Why can’t you think about the company for once and learn to be flexible?"
