Anyone have any suggestions on how to discuss not spending my own money on office expenses? We don't have corporate cards, yet I'm expected to purchase snacks on a constant basis for meetings.

You should be submitting an expense report!!! Or get someone’s Amex! Please don’t eat that cost. Pun intended.

Can you expense to someone on your team with a card?

Please make sure to keep any receipts as well :)

Def expense those. Get the right approvals first to make sure there are no issues with reimbursement, but BDO1 is right....You shouldn’t be eating those charges. Pun also intended. A manager or partner Amex works fine as well. If a leader asked for something, simply get approval to use their card. It helps if you do their expenses.

I’m just curious, was the question about reimbursement ever brought up? Do you work for a non- profit? Very bizarre. Please speak up and put in a reimbursement for the next office treat! See what happens then!

How would you handle not getting a lunch break when you are a salaried employee treating patients for 40 hours a week? I don’t get documentation time either, but all notes are to be completed the same day. Some of us have reached out to HR and we’re told to discuss it with the regional director, but the regional director says we’d have to come in early or leave late to block out a lunch break. My commute is an hour each way, so I’d prefer not to make my day any longer. Advice?
