So Friday we got a memo from the practice group's chair. This is a group that travels a lot for client work - maybe a dozen to 15 trips a year. Nearly all domestic with some Canada and Mexico sprinkled in.
Word from on high is that we can no longer bill time for travel unless we are "directly engaged in client billable work while traveling." We can also no longer bill time for travel on weekends.
What the f**k does this mean? I am taking time away from myself (and family) and other clients to fly out for you - Mr. GC. And when I fly out on a Sunday evening its because you, Mr. GC, wants to meet at 9:00 am on Monday morning.
Rant off but still fuming...........
