Some people are really stupid.
I’m trying to help someone with her expense report for some work travel she did. She submitted the report, but then the expense dept denied it saying they needed proof that she paid the hotel, b/c the receipt she provided just shows a balance due and not something like ‘paid with xxxx card.’ So I am trying to tell her just to go on her credit card account and print off the change that is listed there and they should accept that. Well… she says “Well the hotel has not been paid yet, I have not paid my credit card bill.” I had to then explain to her that yes, the hotel was paid for, that’s what your credit card was used for. Now you have to pay your credit card company back for paying it. I always forget that there are people this dense out in the world, until I am slapped in the face with it again.
I asked the person who I send my expense report to if there was a set amount on how much I can be reimbursed for my home internet and fax (I work from home) or if I just request to be reimbursed for what I am billed by my cable company. She sent me the expense report form 3 days later and said it's all notated in the same column.
WTF?? Yes, people are fucking idiots.
BTW, in case this question makes ME look like an idiot, in my previous position, we could only expense $50 of our cell phone bill, so I don't know if I can expense the whole thing or if there is a cap.
