I was given a group of consultants to manage and most of them were remote to where I live so I could only communicate with them over the phone or email. Well I got an expense report from one and when I saw the flight cost I was shocked. He lived in VA and the project was in Pittsburgh so a $2k flight was nuts. Then when I got him on the phone he explained that his previous manager ok'd him charging the client for him to fly to Africa instead of VA as his family moved there and he wanted a transfer there. Well when we refused to pay for it or bill the client and they booted him off the project I noticed that he was charding 700miles RT to Jersey from Northern VA. Again I asked and he said he was going out to dinner, where back home every night? Needless to say we caught onto that scheme to pay for the flights. After me working with HR for another 2 months to fire him, he was a no show on another project, he was also a double protected class, over 40 and a minority, he finally resigns. I asked HR what to do, reply or what, and they were like accept, accept, immediately. No kidding?
