How do you know it's unacceptable until the finance director turns it
down?
Hypothetically? If you know it violates the reimbursement policy, a
board resolution, the bylaws, or the law, you certainly know it's
unacceptable, at least without asking the board (not the finance
director) to change the rules in the first three instances.
Urm, we're talking about food and drink, meals and massages. What do
board resolutions, byelaws and the law have to do with it (unless
you're in a country with a prohibitionon drinking wine, that is)
Not to defend the current hysteria at all, not at all,,,
But there was a time (a hugely idiotic time, to be
sure) when Angela was just gathering the pieces
of having been sacked and having attended a close
family members burial, after which she was voted
in to the board, and pretty much flat out said she
didn't have the wherewithal to attend, if people
couldn't see their way through to subsidise her
to get to the board meeting. The whole thing didn't
come to a head, because I personally (successfully, yay!)
inspired a drive to donate money *earmarked* for
the sole purpose of getting Angela to Paris. But come
on!
We have come so far beyond that now. We didn't need
the foundation then, much at all, we felt, at that time
(though I did know they could either bury us or lift us
huge monuments to remember us by), but now we
know how much the foundation can do for us, let us
let them deliver!
And if they can't stand and deliver, we will just go
ahead and find a new cove to band together at...
