I don’t know how I scammed my way into the dinner I’m headed to, but this should be educational.
The vendor gave me a travel voucher to get to and from, too. That’s a nice touch.
That was fun. Pro tip: vendor dinners usually are. They go to lengths to make you comfortable and to have an enjoyable time. It’s an excellent way to practice soft skills in a setting where everyone wants you to have fun.
@tek My ethics training taught me that accepting so much as a coffee from a vendor would mean I’m corrupt 
@bougiewonderland Not if it’s an educational opportunity!
@bougiewonderland@freeradical.zone@tek Yes, even if it’s an educational opportunity!
This one time, I had a day of training which was held on a Saturday a bit outside of town, so the company in charge of the training normally provided a meal so people wouldn’t get stuck without anywhere to eat lunch. Welp, manage,ent told them to deduce the price of the meals so we would not get them for free!
Because that would be unethical!
@tek Apparently they think our integrity is for sale, and for quite cheap too!
@bougiewonderland @tek corruption is one of the areas where I think slippery slope arguments may hold water, so zero tolerance policies are arguably a good idea, even if usually annoying in the near term.
@bougiewonderland Do you work for a nunnery? 
I do get the ethics issue and why we have anti-bribery rules. I’m A-OK with sharing a meal with someone, either as host or guest. That’s how we professionally network. That’s officially part of my job.
