I was told if expenses aren’t billable then I can no longer expense them. We are funding our own business expenses now ? It started with mileage. Then it was individual meals while traveling. Now it’s baggage fees and cancellation fees. If I have to reschedule due to the customer, I was told I have to absorb the related fees because “I should have planned better.”

I'm waiting for the day we have to expense the toilet paper we use to wipe our
a-ses.
There’s a helpline? Have you ever called it? They have your manager on the line in minutes. Not great for your “performance goals” ie. how much I like you goals. HPD has nothing to do with performance. Setting you up for unattainable goals like travel out of state 10% without allowing travel, is a way to PIP you, deny you a raise and meet their quota of 3-10% PIP’d every year. Keeps the head count down.
If that policy was in effect for me, I’d simply refuse to travel.
Definitely happens on JWs team. It was an issue when he was head of SPS. Same games
What SBU / SBG? I'm in Aero and don't have any T&E policy like that. As much as I travel, if that was the policy, my net pay at the end of the year would be negative.
This is unacceptable of course. I would escalate this. Use the helpline
Yes. Funny how my HPDs require travel Honeywell won’t pay for.
