Don't you guys "get" the liability aspects (mentioned many times)?????
It's like you don't wanna hear something, so you ignore it.
Do you really think these rules are made with the only reason being to **** off an employee???? Nothing to gain there.
If they gotta be responsible for insuring your injuries, then they indeed have the right to make you travel a safer mode of transportation (on their clock).
Too sensible for some to comprehend. Selfish crowd. "Me, me, it's all about me"!

As insurance companies reap greater and greater profits, they will use this money to purchase more and more of our elected officials.
The OP's problem came from an insurance company , not his company.
We have the best goverment that money can buy, been saying it for years.

Sorry, but I don't see the correlation between transporting yourself to work, and going to a work related event. You crash on the way to work, you are off the clock and insure yourself. A work related event brings workmans comp into the picture. Until they tell you what to drive to work daily, you are reaching way too far to even think that will ever happen.
A work related event, is not supposed to be a paid vacation.
It is work related business.
Their company, their events, to challenge that is only making yourself look like a "troublemaker" and possibly expose you to be put out with the other 15% who have no job at all!
I consider this a very petty thing that you are complaining about.
Appreciate what you have, for it may be gone tomorrow.

The company I work for doesn't own me. Therefore they cannot tell me what I will and will not do on my personal time, nor will they tell me what vehicles that I can and cannot drive. Period. It's thoughts like yours that required the unions to be formed in the first place. Because the companies thought that they owned their employees and had the rights to make them do anything that they wanted.

Who's out of touch? Certainly not the managers.

I'd really like to see the actual policy, but it doesn't sound like there's much to get worked up about. No one mandates how you commute to work -- you can walk, drive, ride, take the bus or parachute in from an airplane. Once you're conducting company business, they can tell you what to wear, whether or not you can drink at lunch, and how you get from A to B while on company business (fly coach, drive, etc.). What's the big deal? If you don't like your company's rules, get another job for cryin' out loud.

Every time I read a post like this I understand why I have such a hard time finding Americans to work for me. My business, my rules. You dont like it, no problem go work some place else. You dont have any constitutional right to work for me. People that actualy want a job and want to work for thier pay dont seem to have any problem with my rules. We Americans are so predictable, dont like it sue.

Unlike your thoughts....

You know dam well this has nothing to do with your "personal time".
It's about WORK RELATED time where WORKMANS COMP has to pay for your roadrash because your were on company time.
Don't turn this around on me man. Perhaps this union chit you mentioned is why so many companies are closing their doors. Stupid selfish logic like YOURS. Rediculous demands that bankrupt the company.
Work related function is NOT "paid vacation".
THEY pay his travel expense, THEY can indeed insist on a safer mode of transport.
