On a project in NY. My SO wants to visit. Is it okay if I let her stay at my hotel room? I'll be busy during the day at client site and she can tour the city and we can get dinner at night?

I always bring my SO along, just keep it on the low... if u have a free hotel room there is no reason why she shouldn't be able to enjoy it with you. This job takes enough out of you, find balance where you can. Few things are more spontaneous than staying together at a hotel in NYC! Especially when we're having this beautiful weather.

Oh and just book it to the project code. Don't do alt travel. Just make sure your expenses don't exceed a typical week. It's not the way you are technically supposed to do it but it's so much easier and will be less scrutinized.

Check your per Diem - ours almost doubles depending on where you go. No need to hide INFACT - you have a Pretty good reason to say at sharp 5:30 pm to the team members "..... Guys I have to catch up with my wife who is in town so see ya"ll tomorrow AM ". This will establish polite but firm rules around the Manager or SM dicking around for staying late and you will not be obligated to enjoy the post work stupidity ( which is always disguised as work) . Cherish these moments with your SO ....... before you know you will be counting the nights you could stay together but did not . I am at 2000+ nights and counting ( it's sad !)

OP is so cute 😀😀 don't worry, it's totally legal to let your SO share your hotel room! People do that all the time and you're not breaking any laws here. You're a traveling consultant..you're supposed to take advantage of the fact that you have meals and accommodation paid for, 4 days a week in a city like NYC! So don't worry about it.

Thanks everyone, with Deloitte. I just don't want anyone to think I'm taking advantage of being in the city at the moment to explore at night time. They may feel that I'm distracted if my SO is town, but I don't have to share that with them
