The Expenses
Your manager pads the team's expense claims. Dinners that didn't happen, taxis nobody took. The money comes back as the team bonus and your share is about eight hundred pounds a year. Everyone knows. Nobody says it. The company is huge and nobody is hurt in a way you can point at.
Do you take the bonus?
Then ask
- What's the number where you'd stop taking it?
- If a new starter asked you what the bonus was, what do you say?
- Is refusing it a stand, or just making yourself the problem?
The classics and some new ones. A scenario, the question it forces, and the follow-ups that make it bite.
