"opportunity to wittness just how frugal the management team is when they travel"
Frugality in NYC? on an extended stay? There is no such thing as frugality there unless some of the management team share a hotel room.
"others know for a fact they travel on a shoe-string budget."
With what he takes home a month you would think there would be plenty of travel cash for he and who ever is with him . Maybe that shoe string budget gets compromised with payroll injustice.
Dave, do yourself a favor, study up on toxic financing and especially with the likes of York. Its a scary place to be when you hold hands with the devil because they have the drug (cash) WNBD needs badly. When you are out of cash or circling the drain those who stick their hand out aren't the friendly faces you hope they are wanting to help. They are buzzards circling their prey. They may 1st appear friendly because you're desperate then you're dropped into their daily squeeze of their vice grips . Do your homework, you won't be sorry. it may give you and your employer some great adult beverage discussion points.
Where is the real measure of frugality, salaries that reflect his accomplishments or lack there of.
