I only return to ones I can host myself, so basically just wow now, which I don't play anymore.

the car isn't removed, just mine is. doesn't really avoid anything

also didn't include, but the party is at the hotel we're all staying at so no excuses.

don't let the one you're hopefully already have die. if they die, then you're stuck.

if you don't have one, Galen Westin will most certainly underpay one for you in the private industry

well that's how companies should be, no? they call you in for a work event, they should be covering expenses like my time, travel and expenses incurred. isn't this normal?

consolidation of power is never good.

no trains go there or planes unless I find some dude that owns a plane. I don't mind the drive personally, it very scenic and I love music so that keeps me going easily

yeah major city. tons of options. enterprise was their chosen company.

might very well be nepotism, just such an odd decision to take on the risk of renting a car vs having me use my own.

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

I don't know about the rental.

my personal car I end up doing 4.3L/100km so about 54Mpg. Like, I doubt it'll get much cheaper unless it's electric.

they do cover fuel, kms, and my time spent on the road.

I'm sure it's a monetary thing but I can't help but think it'll be the same, if not more expensive renting.

lol, it's a Christmas party for work. no clients will see my 2 year old car.

I just find it odd they would add complexity to the 7 hour drive with having to pickup/dropoff, potential upselling, car not available, magical damage the rental company might claim post dropoff.

vs me just driving my own car which I've done the last 5 years.

I can't find and valid reason for it. I doubt it's even cheaper. oh well..

no, my work is 7 hours from my residence. I drive to the office for the Christmas party.

this year, they are renting me a car instead of my driving my own car.

I would never question safe transport after a party

 

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
