[quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks everyone for your input and advice. Seems like a resounding "Hell no, don't go" across the board.

I wish I could say your resounding consensus swayed Lancelot the Loyal. I've shared the wisdom of the DCUMs with DH; alas, he's still going on the trip. The plan is to put the estimated expenses in writing and get them approved beforehand. No benefits until May 1. Sigh.

To answer a PP, it's a week-long trip with airfare, hotel, car rental, landing fees, meals, etc., so it adds up in the thousands pretty quick. I wish I could say I have faith the company will reimburse him, and I hope having the expenses approved in writing helps, but I can't shake the uneasiness. It's not like I haven't put work travel on my personal credit card before, too, but I just had more confidence that my employer was good for it.

DH refuses to shirk his responsibilities as long as he holds his position; while I'm worried we won't see that money again, I can only hope his commitment will have some sort of karmic influence and all will end well. I never thought I'd say this but I totally won't get any pleasure out of saying "I told you so"! Wish us luck, I guess.

Thanks again. [/quote]
