Then, they pay for his flights to and from his home in Halifax every two weeks.
Is this type of spending normal?
And, I don't think parties like the one I described is a one-off thing. It's obviously not all the time, but it's certainly not surprising.
You should see what the company my gf works for does... and what the company her sister works for does. I won't name company names, but wow... the benefits are just borderline ridiculous. |
Honestly in travelling situation, your going to be eating out a lot more than the average person. $1,200.00 is high, but not out of control. Many lawyers I know are given an expense account of up to $30 and a taxi if they work past X time. The $1,200 would be in the normal range for that kind of corporte expense.
