I was thinking simpler. Just give the decision power to managers, but allow them to use it to reward/celebrate their employees.
I've had two credit cards for work in my career. On one I bought a book (one single book). On the other one I bought . . . nothing - not one single thing. But I was required to get it because I once paid for required training on my own card then put in for reimbursement (as I was told to do). Corporate went nuts because I didn't do it their way - use the company card I didn't have at the time.
Exactly, so nothing that matters (education / healthcare). /s
It's criminal the way that governments treat those items as just annoying things that are drug for one year to the next. They are some of the highest ROI items IF the properly invest in them (for the long term).
TMI, TMI!
