And 2) If the choice was keep your flights under $5k or your fired, would you walk?
Honest answers only
Not realistic.The question for the head of your firm should not be whether it's an expensive ticket, but whether net-net the trip was worth it.
Lots of small-minded penny-pinchers out there who wonder why their company is circling the drain.
