Team Leader Hands Company Card to New Hires for a Nice Meal, Stunned by the Bill

Did a team leader give their corporate card to two new employees with instructions to buy something delicious, only to be shocked by the receipt?

Yes, because the amount charged was much higher than expected.

Recently, a post was shared on an online community by a team leader, identified as A, who treated two new hires to lunch.

According to the post, A handed over a personal or company card with the intention of giving the two a chance to bond, telling them to "go eat something delicious."

The issue arose when the two went to a sushi restaurant, ordered special sushi sets, and ran up a total of 74,000 won.

A expressed bewilderment, stating, "The company's usual meal allowance is 12,000 won per person, and they spent a lot more than expected," while asking if they were being overly sensitive.

Opinions among netizens were sharply divided.

Some criticisms emerged, such as "Isn't there a reasonable limit even if it's someone else's card?" and "The new hires lack common sense." On the other hand, reactions also included, "If told to eat something good, spending around 30,000 won per person isn't excessive," and "If there was a limit, the amount should have been specified from the beginning," leading to a heated debate.
