If charging dinner to the company is going to tank your P&L, you've got much bigger things to worry about. And no, they ain't going to promote you because you saved them $30.
They're not going to promote you specifically because you thought cooking chicken in a coffee maker was a good idea.
Although, I guess you could kinda sorta do sous vide in one of you had the chicken in a sealed bag.
Generally I find the people who go all out (not overboard) on expenses get promoted before people who don’t. Shows a level of confidence that most management likes.
Another thing to consider: Are the ones that you’ve noticed get promoted tend to LOVE to say “yes” to management?
