The time I spent 4 hours organizing receipts for a $27 expense report

Last month my boss made me dig through 3 years of gas receipts because the accountant said one was off by 12 cents. Took me 4 hours to find out it was a math error on their side. Anyone else's job make you do pointless busy work that saves like $5?

Oh man, the "dig through years of receipts for tiny amounts" thing is the worst. I once had to hunt down a receipt from a coffee shop visit two years ago because the company flagged a $2.14 charge as "unusual" and they needed proof. I spent like an hour scrolling through old bank statements just to find out it was for a muffin I ate on a work trip... and then my boss didn't even look at the receipt. Meanwhile we're spending thousands on software nobody uses.

Did a buddy have to expense a single pen from 2019?
