SUPER ELITE UPPER TIER
We would have beers at lunch when I worked for Big Oil. I'd take people out and put it on my company card. Expense it. Big Oil was pretty awesome.That's some old school stuff there. When I was a young pup just starting out it wasn't at all unusual for everyone to have a drink or two with lunch. Now not so much. Can't remember the last business lunch I went on where anyone ordered alcohol.My first day on my current job my boss was taking me out to lunch. I was bewildered when he chose Chili's until he dropped this on me:
Boss: Now's probably a good time to mention that the policy allows for two drinks at lunch.
Me: Great!
Boss: And if I'm buying lunch, it's a two drink minimum.
Me: HAH... sounds good to me
Boss: And it's always happy hour at Chilis, two for one beers... So four counts as two...
4 20oz beers later we're heading back to work to introduce me to the team that will work for me.
