I would expect most lemmings, like myself, to have spent more time in company-paid hotel rooms than vacation hotel rooms
I think that's a very strange assumption.
Can confirm.
Source: I think last time I paid for a hotel myself was 2009. I have no idea how many nights I've spent on company expense since then, but it must be in the hundreds.
That sounds horrible
Nah. Job is pretty chill, pays well, I usually get to choose the hotel, and I get to see new places.
But you never take a vacation.
I do, I just don't pay for them myself. I usually show up at my destination early, or I leave late. I've racked up enough hotel bonus points to cover most of it for free.
Bold assumption but it checks out for me. It is based on lemmy being so tech heavy?
Young-leaning and tech heavy. In my case I'm trades rather than tech, but the result is the same: company has work they need done out of town, so I end up in a hotel
