Anyone else seeing increased scrutiny on travel and entertainment expenses?

Lately, it feels like every single expense report is getting a deep dive. Used to be a quick approval for standard travel, but now it's like I have to justify every single meal and coffee. Even team lunches are getting questioned. My manager mentioned that central finance is really cracking down. It's not just me, I've heard similar things from colleagues in other departments too. Makes you think about what's going on behind the scenes. Anyone else experiencing this level of expense micromanagement?

Yeah, I'm seeing the same thing. Seems like the company is really tightening the belt on everything, and T&E is an easy place to start. It's definitely frustrating when you're just trying to do your job and keep the team connected, and now every little thing feels like a major hurdle. Hopefully, it's just a temporary measure and things will ease up once the current financial picture stabilizes.

Absolutely. The expense report scrutiny is through the roof. It's not just meals and coffees; even mileage claims are being questioned more than usual. It feels like they're looking for any excuse to cut costs, and it's making everyone a bit more hesitant to spend, even when it's necessary for business. I'm curious if this is specific to our company or a wider industry trend.
