So it happened that the author not only gets all his work trips funded at the employer’s expense, but personal drives as well
So, the Original Poster is an IT guy and he recently got a new job. During the interview, the boss said that they weren’t ready to pay transportation costs for him, however, if our hero goes to the office in his own vehicle, he will be paid fuel costs in the amount of no more than 25 cents per kilometer . Not the most pleasant arithmetic for an employee, but the author of the post agreed. Moreover, he said that it looked pretty fair.
As always, it all depends on the angle from which we look at a particular problem. Perhaps the boss was rubbing his hands in glee after finishing the interview with the original poster, rejoicing at the fact that they were able to save a lot on travel costs for a new employee. But the OP is definitely a winner as well.
Yes, let’s look at it from the OP’s angle – the thing is that he drives a moped, and now, you see, the situation looks completely different! In fact, no matter what engine is installed on a moped, two-stroke or four-stroke, the fuel savings are at least three times compared to a car. And if you consider that the author carries all his tools in a backpack , then this is also incredibly convenient. And the problem of traffic jams and parking also partially disappears.
Moreover, in the OP’s own words, these “insignificant” funds that the company allocates to him for fuel expenses are enough not only for work trips, but also for all his personal driving. He has even made a lot of mountain drives at his employer’s expense. And anyway, as the original poster admits, how enjoyable life is when you have ‘infinite kinetic energy.’
