CBS Wanted Hertz Receipts. In Kirkuk. During a War.
Rented a pickup truck from a local translator in a warzone. Receipt was handwritten in Arabic. CBS rejected the expense report because it wasn't from their preferred rental car vendor.
Apparently Hertz has a Kirkuk location they forgot to mention.

My employer has a new, astronomically awful expense-reporting system. Opaque, inefficient, and mind-bogglingly duplicative. Am I being too much of a smartass?
Corporate bureaucracy so detached from reality it tried to enforce rental car vendor policies on a war correspondent in active combat zones.
