Igloo Won't Pay For Your Meat Expenses

Riddle me this. 

There are any number of advantages to the planet from reducing the amount of meat we consume. 
 

So they are encouraging that via their expenses policy - which is a really good idea - in fact if all companies did it the positive impact would be huge.

 

 

There are many number of advantages to the planet by not travelling around the country to flog their business products but Igloo still makes their employees do it.

 

Do you think if an employee refused to travel because of their so called "principles" they would be so supportive.  

 

Just jumping on the bandwaggon.

Maybe so.

 

but it’s a lot easier to reimburse for a cheese sandwich than change  business culture as a whole.

 

whats the problem - people don’t only eat meat and they can eat meat any other time.

Why do you agree with them setting limits

on alcohol but not meat?

 

isnt that discriminatory against people that drink alcohol?

You can still get reimbursed just have a vegetarian option.

But surely that is discriminating and dictating company choices against human choices. I don't think we are going to agree maybe you've been brainwashed I really don't know. I prefer to live a life where as an adult who knows what I like and enjoy eating I can make the choice to eat what I want. It may be a vegetarian choice it may be meat,  variety is the spice of life after all  😊

Would a company that didn't pay food expenses at all be discriminating against people that eat food? 

Wouldn't be much of a  company if they don't pay business expenses. Working for them would be more of a charity volunteering type role.

You can do all that. You just can’t do it if you want to claim the money back for it  from your employer cos they’re not advocating it.

 

just like you can’t get money for other things back off them if you choose to do it but they don’t agree with it.

Do you work for Igloo ? I 'm intrigued why you take it on yourself to defend them and hold them in such high esteem.

We'll agree to disagree then. I think it's good to be corporate in the way you work not in lifestyle choices. That's my personal choice and I respect yours

The problem is that the company through its operations is forcing an employee to incur expense to purchase food, denying thier employee freedom of choice in their own eating habits whilst deliberately and unfairly giving preferential treatment to those who choose not to eat meat over those who do eat meat.  

 

Quite frankly it stinks of a power trip by the clearly preacy, self righteous owner.    Small firm mentality which is just an employment tribunal away from huge embarrassment.

 

As a side note, the fact that a company with just 30 employees has a position titled "Head of Values" really says it all.

Are you asking me to give you a dumbed-down version of my post? :confused:

As both myself and Loob have mentioned, how does this work over a prolonged period of time?

 

Have you ever had to claim expenses for more than a sandwich on a day out yourself?

Well, for the pro-vegetarians, it works great: workers on expense get weaned off meat products, and hopefully adopt vegetarian dietary ways over time ; and ever more of them if the policy gains traction, resulting in ever less meat consumed by workers on expenses. Virtuous circle, so far as (proselyte) vegetarians are concerned.

 

The eventual knock-on effect on the meat supply market and pricing, helps turn meat products into ever more of a luxury, a state of affairs readily accepted by most everyone by then, conditioned as they have become to only ever eat meat as a special personal treat.

 

Know your place, peasants worker bees: meat is for your lord bosses and shareholders only :D
