Post #12,480 by Fearless Freep 10/9/01 4:05:41 PM Reply	Yup The first couple $K came when I was doing traveling consulting and was paying expenses on my credit card and getting remibursed from travel expenses.... Me and some of my coworkers ended up several hundred to several thousand dollars in debt when the consulting company stopped reimbursing us. Four months unemployement and trying to make mortgage and car payments and buy groceries sunk us into deeper debt. Ironically, I would be able to work at a lot m,ore places and enjoy it and be happy with the salary based on my expenses, but the payment on my outstanding debt is so high that I have to stick with jobs above a certain threshold and they are harder to find, especially in a poor state like NM.

I got royally screwed when Platinum was purchased by Comp Assoc. I no longer loan money to employers and I'm not shy about telling them that up front. If you want me to go, you buy the tickets, you book the hotels and cars and you pay the bills - plus you give me my per diem before I leave. Or if you just want to give me a corporate card where you pay the bill, thats OK too.

An obvious need - you incurred expenses that your contracting company should have compensated you for, and did not. Once again, not your fault, but you get stuck holding the live grenade because of somebody else's unethical behavior. "He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." - Friedrich Nietzsche
