Those of you who are still working remotely like I am, what's your agency's policy on travel these days? Are you expected to pay for any of your own, or is it all covered. Or are you just no longer invited to any client meetings that require travel?

Sorry… pay for your own business travel?

You don’t pay for your own business travel. The multi-million dollar corporation and their rich clients will be paying for that.

You don’t pay for travel. You ask if you can go to client meetings and that they accommodate you. If they can’t, you don’t go.

Absolutely would never EVER pay out of my own pocket for anything business travel related. Doesn’t matter what your contract is — travel is fully a business expense for any company or agency. If they don’t pay, you don’t go. inclusive of meals and Ubers.

I’ve worked for a Chicago based team for 4-5 years. Only been offered travel one time

I’m remote, I moved away before my company started their RTO rollout. Honestly? I live with fear in the back of my mind that I could be let go b/c I can’t follow that policy. Despite assurances.

As for travel — if they need me in a room for an in-person meeting? They have to pay for that, or accommodate my face on a large screen and make space for me to talk and interact as if I’m in the room.

Despite my fear, that’s nonnegotiable. I don’t owe them a flight, hotel, or my meals while I’m in town FOR THEM.

They paid us for the 24x7 monitoring and the software for MONTHS. When they realized it, we owed them almost $27k.
