Used to stay at one of the Sheratons in St Louis and Edward Jones had their...
...corporate training facility nearby...so it was always filled with brokers training or up-dating their skills. So one night at the bar I'm sitting with 3-4 guys in their 30's and 40's and they told me not only did they have to share rooms they had a $30/day per diem!!!
I was appalled that any corporation would treat there employees this way...needless to say one of the new hires told me if he could have changed his flight home he would have quit on the spot...but logic said he might as well finish the training.
