New Job, New Policies

My friend, Jason, was complaining that he has to buy a car as soon as possible. He wasn't very happy with it as it would be a yet another financial responsibility that he is not prepared to shoulder since he has been using a company assigned car all these while.

With a new job, though, he has to follow a new set of company policies, where mobile employees have to provide their own transport but they will be reimbursed in the form of monthly Car Allowance.

I told Jason that he shouldn't complain seeing how so many people are getting laid off left, right and center, whilst he managed to secure a new job in just a couple of months. Granted, this job may not be as prestigious as the last but then we should ride the cow while we look for a horse.

Jason was also afraid that he would be short-changed by his company, in view of the high gas price but I am sure the company has a customized vehicle reimbursement program installed to ensure that all mobile employees will be reimbursed duly.

In fact, more and more companies with mobile employees are adopting this system to reduce overhead costs, liability and risks.
