News Summary

• My job required me to travel twice a year - once in late April and once in November.
• I followed the company policy about travel, Ubers, everything to the letter.
• When I turned in the receipts for everything during my December trip, the total came up to less than $300.
• But I soon got a notice of denial from the accounting office telling me that because I hadn't secured permission for the rental of the car, they were not going to pay for that.
• But when I pointed out that the only difference between April and December was the cost for the Uber upcharges, and that I had actually gone to fewer places (no rental car, no sightseeing), they paid up and asked me which rental agency I preferred for future trips.
