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...
