I would not ask your boss that!

Sounds like you work for the government or maybe a non-profit. This is not generally a corporate expectation.

uh

yeah

Do YOU work for corporate?

Government sets the foundation unless you're Goldman of Goldman Sachs.

Perhaps. But let's say, some corporations are more flexible than others.

Also, not every company has a per diem. Some just do a direct reimbursement of expenses. (I'm on private sector employer #4 and they all did that). So you can't make money off travel/expenses in general.

Only if you were asked last minute and you weren't able to make plans ahead of time to cover childcare.
