I don't tell you have to spend your money. I don't think the company cares how I think they should spend theirs either. God forbid someone wants to save money by holding onto what they have, but instead you call them cheap. GMAB
This is the same thinking that has pilots showing up in ratty old shirts despite getting a uniform allowance.
and/or why most companies now require you to get reimbursed instead of just giving you the cash. They know pilots will waste it on other stuff and show up to work with pit stained shirts and threadbare pants and ties.
