  • Why would a company force you to use a rental car instead of your own for a drive to the office/Christmas party?

    Jump

  • the car isn't removed, just mine is. doesn't really avoid anything

    also didn't include, but the party is at the hotel we're all staying at so no excuses.

  • don't let the one you're hopefully already have die. if they die, then you're stuck.

    if you don't have one, Galen Westin will most certainly underpay one for you in the private industry

  • beautiful picture, was curious about the Polovnikoff on the Pepsi sign. That was the founder/Owner of the store. here's a story I found. sorry for the branding on the screenshots, I don't FB and couldn't copy/paste

  • well that's how companies should be, no? they call you in for a work event, they should be covering expenses like my time, travel and expenses incurred. isn't this normal?

  • consolidation of power is never good.

  • no trains go there or planes unless I find some dude that owns a plane. I don't mind the drive personally, it very scenic and I love music so that keeps me going easily

  • nah, xmas party. one of the few times I run the commute into the actual office. it's nice seeing everyone esp this time of the year

  • yeah major city. tons of options. enterprise was their chosen company.

    might very well be nepotism, just such an odd decision to take on the risk of renting a car vs having me use my own.

  • nah, this is a 7 hour drive one-way.

    ain't no cab gonna be cheaper lol personal driver would be nice though. I could play guitar the whole way

  • I don't know about the rental.

    my personal car I end up doing 4.3L/100km so about 54Mpg. Like, I doubt it'll get much cheaper unless it's electric.

    they do cover fuel, kms, and my time spent on the road.

    I'm sure it's a monetary thing but I can't help but think it'll be the same, if not more expensive renting.

  • lol, it's a Christmas party for work. no clients will see my 2 year old car.

    I just find it odd they would add complexity to the 7 hour drive with having to pickup/dropoff, potential upselling, car not available, magical damage the rental company might claim post dropoff.

    vs me just driving my own car which I've done the last 5 years.

    I can't find and valid reason for it. I doubt it's even cheaper. oh well..

    Jump

  • no, my work is 7 hours from my residence. I drive to the office for the Christmas party.

    this year, they are renting me a car instead of my driving my own car.

    I would never question safe transport after a party

  • Doctors should discourage teens from dieting, pediatrics group says

    Jump

  • depends... is the diet less sugar and carbs? less fast food? blanket approaches like this is just never a good idea

  • Ottawa limits how many American vehicles Stellantis and GM can import tariff-free

    Jump

  • maybe the market is now too big to cater too and countries should start focusing on themselves if the rest of the world won't play nice.

  • Trump says he's terminating trade negotiations with Canada over Ontario anti-tariff ad

    Jump

  • why? genuinely curious why that would be bad to not have open borders with a country that clearly loves to threaten and extort and blackmail?

    if my street neighbours did that to me, I'd never grant them access to my property either.
