Update at 2:47 p.m. PT: "The comment about corporate mileage is total bullshit. It is only $.21 a mile here,'' a third reader just told me. "Sorry to burst everyone's bubble, we are screwed here just as much as everyone at the papers are."Earlier: And Corporate's rate is a fat 55 cents, say Gannett Blog readers, now commenting on the abysmally small mileage increase at South Carolina's Greenville News.
Join the debate, in the original post.
I do not know what corporate is at $.55. It is hard coded in that wonderful Extensity expense report application at $.21.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of mileage...Roger Ogden was just named to join E.W. Scripps board upon Scripps July 1st split. Maybe Scripps can get some "mileage" out of him to determine what the Enquirer really did to the Post that ultimately led to its demise...could help their earnings a bit.
ReplyDelete@3:44 p.m. is right; here's the release on that: http://tinyurl.com/4d44d2
ReplyDeleteHey, isn't gas cheap in New Jersey anyway. What the hell are you all complaining about anyway. You have a job and you have cheap gas. Now get your ass in gear and start working.
ReplyDeleteCorporate mileage is not at .55 - where are you getting that from? As the person above noted, mileage is set in Extensity at .21.
ReplyDeleteSales reps will cut out excessive advertising calls...to save money. Duh!! And those extra sales will be missed.
ReplyDeleteIf a company can't keep up with paying their employees properly, they should cease from existing.
Here we have a company that pays executives at least $300 to $700,000 base salary a year, but can't justify a decent gas reimbursement.
Jim,
ReplyDeleteYou are being really sloppy. In the first post, you had a first poster provide the accurate corporate rate of .21. A second poster then came in at .55 with a troll bait kicker comment. Why report the higher, and I would think, more obviously baloney wrong number?
@10:37 a.m.: I believe you misread the item. What you call the "first post'' was actually an update -- as labeled.
ReplyDeleteI follow this convention: If I get new information about an item, I add it to the original post, with the word "Update" and the time and/or date in boldface.
So, in this post, here's the sequence: You now see the update first, correcting the initial post. Then you see "Earlier," which quoted the reader saying (incorrectly) that Corporate's rate is higher than in the field.
