This is one of the more baller ones for sure.

I work for a rapidly growing startup in a different industry and the most we have currently is a beer vending machine at one site that was inherited and P-Cards with the biggest limits I’ve ever seen. The only requirement with those is, “please don’t screw me.”

What are P-Cards?

[–] BottleOfAlkahest 11 points 1 year ago

They are company "Purchase" cards. They are often used for purchases for the office like supplies or other one off perks (i.e. food). In some companies they are separate from travel cards which can only be used for travel.

Company credit cards

That p-card policy is a financial fraud disaster waiting to happen. It's only a matter of when, not if.

Oh don’t worry, we have to expense everything. 😉
