From your company? No, I would not recommend that. I don’t think they would respond favorably. If you want to do IB, you’re signing up for a high degree of unpredictability in work obligations, so you’re liable for taking the risk of buying the ticket. Depending on your team’s culture, you could try giving them an advanced heads up next time you have a situation like that where they can provide some protection (if it’s a weekend).
And to be clear, this is not judgement or my personal opinion of how things should be, just the unfortunate nature / culture of the industry. Some firms do a better job with supporting some degree of WLB and I hope that becomes more the norm

^for sure. It’s all about advance communication at the end of the day. We have lives outside of work and we deserve our time off as long as we cover our bases and not make assumptions.

My suggestion would be to eat the cost yourself. That being said, you can advocate for yourself. Our industry is cutthroat so proceed with caution.

Hence why they pay us “more” to justify booking things at last minute premiums
