I’m just confused on why they are forcing me to rent a car at their expense, instead of using my own car. this is the first year they said they are getting me a car.
what could be reasons why they would opt for rental instead of km/milage reimbursement?
I don’t wanna drive no automatic lol
Often “to get someone a car” means to get them a car and driver, in my experience. Maybe they’re offering to pay for a cab?
nah, this is a 7 hour drive one-way.
ain’t no cab gonna be cheaper lol personal driver would be nice though. I could play guitar the whole way
Oh if it’s that long a drive, the cost of the rental and fuel is way less than the mileage reimbursement would be. I’m frankly surprised they’re not flying you at that distance, unless the plane trip would include a lot of driving on the front and/or back ends.
This here is one likely answer. One other (less likely) might be insurance, although I would have to strain my imaginatiom quite a bit to come up with an explanation that nakes insurance a good reason to do this for a christmas party vs. a regular drive to work. Maybe they want to prevent “fraternization” by making clear “we know where your rental cars will spend the night”? ;)
What kind of job is this? Seems super weird.
