By policy you're supposed to use the corporate AmEx for all reimbursable expenses. Whatever you're tempted to do by other cards (I'm talking to you,CSR...), I wouldn't chance using something else. For one it is a hell of a lot easier to import into myTE. For another violating that policy is a stupid BS reason to get a poor rating or lose your job.

Ive known plenty of consultants that have been promoted that didnt use their corp card for hotel/expenses. Generally for a project you just need tonstay within thr permitted costs guidelines.

Technically you should use your Corp card, not everyone does

Perfect that's what I'm looking to know. Gracias FB!

Interesting views. Yes, it's a policy violation. No, it's not a huge one. Yes, I've seen such minor things impact an individual's performance rating. Yes, that can have a $$ impact. Yes, you are welcome to work elsewhere if you don't like our rules. Yes, using the corp Amex does provide a whole bunch of insurance coverages in the event crap happens: rental car coverage, hotel room damage (don't laugh - one of my managers had a cracked toilet bowl, flooded 7 stories of a Marriott).....

You miss my point - 95% of the time it simply doesn't matter..... until the time it does.

Hello everyone!
I recently found out that I was being paid less than everyone in the team (more than 25% gap to more expe teammates, around 15% less than new hires)
We all had the same responsibilities, I consider I even had a heavier workload (talking in past tense since I very recently made an internal move).
Things to consider:
On a work visa
Non-white
Non-male
What would you recommend doing?
Keeping it to myself?
Speaking up? How? With who?

-TIA

Anyone here from Canada, who went through TN Visa process recently with Google, that can share their experience and timeline of getting the visa? I am planning to take some time off to wrap up relocation related stuff and manage notice period as well so it would be good to get some insight on timelines. Would be great if people here who went through the process can share their experience!

I'm pretty sure TikTok is one of the main reasons we are constantly hearing about how much Gen Z struggles with mental health.
