I'd assume that his work requires him to make at least $635 in phone calls on company business on his home phone each month. The company, as most companies, reimburses me for any expenses I personally incur in the course of doing company business. > [Moderator's Note: What I've heard is that they receive either > all or a portion of their long distance service for free; No. I get the first $35 reimbursed, and then a portion of the next $65; I'm a second level manager. I think that's the most generous of the reimbursement programs ... friends of mine who are occupational folk get less. Local phone company people have a better deal (IMHO) ... I think they get they monthly service fees covered ... and occupational folk there get about half of their fees covered.
