the contoller at my company sent me the email below when I tried sending personal mail ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Zoozu, I talked to Dana - apparently she didn’t realize you were trying to send a personal mail. We will not support our employee’s personal expenditures. Whoever ends up using our postage machine for personal reasons should reimburse to Dana. That’s our policy. Please go pay her $0.52. Thanks. Hiroshi WHAT A BEEEEYAAAATCH!!

Why don’t you lend her an MBS.
I’ve been using company shipping products for my ebay store for a long time. I pay for shipping though since that could come back to bite me real quick. On another note, I would imagine the labor costs of sending you that email, correct the ledger, and deposit the 55 cents exceeds the cost of you to ship your mail.
…and the reply from HR after my instructions were provided. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hi Zoozu, I am not going to deduct the $0.52 from your payroll.
