Originally posted by KinooOrKinog View PostThat's not what they're doing though. They're saying if you eat something they don't want you to eat, you will be penalised. It's not really about the environment because how do they know that their employees aren't doing everything else possible to improve the environment, but just choose to eat meat?

Or is it more convenient for you to consider the 2 cases differently?
If, as you say, judges would have a more sensible approach, the 2 examples should be treated equally. Thankfully the law is in the hands of smarter people than you, though.
But there is a duty of care and further obligations to employees on business trips. Let's turn it around, because it's absolutely identical legally, would you support a ban on veggie dishes? Would you support a policy that says you can only claim back Big Macs from McDonalds?
You're letting your silliness cloud your judgement, because you so want to be pure.

Originally posted by vwdan View PostYou're now confusing a business decision with how you handle employees. Quite why, I'm not sure - did it sound clever in your head?
Euston Station charges me 20p to use the loos, too - but an employer can't charge their staff.

Originally posted by PCTNN View PostIf that's the case, I should have sued my ex client co, whose cafe would charge me 20p less for a coffee if I brought my own reusable cup. Who are these assholes that want to save the world? Why can we not be free to pollute and destroy it?

Originally posted by KinooOrKinog View PostDo they not need to reimburse meals by law if travelling on business, or is it only hotels. Not sure.
What if the receipt doesn't specify what was in the food? Or what if you go to a buffet restaurant? Do you have to prove you only ate the salad? Is it only meat products not allowed? What about fish? What about dairy? So many variables and a lot of admin and faff for their accounts department.
"However, WeWork’s veggie position attracted some dissenters in the AccountingWEB community. Ian McTernan criticised the policy as “stupid virtue signalling”, while AccountingWEB member crebourret said, “I bet they reimburse mileage done in SUVs and other powerful engines”."
