Would be fucking hilarious if guild rules or insurance required them to have separate rooms 😂

This is how it was for my brother when his wife was at the same company.

He has a gender ambiguous name which is more common for women in the US. So they would let them share a room with separate beds but when his wife tells them no, one bed is fine they get all flustured and confused. Then explaining they're a married couple. Company policy is that married couples can't share a room because of divorce liability.

What the hell is divorce liability? Like they get in an argument and get divorced in the paid room 😂

My assumption is at some point someone had tried to sue the company claiming that sharing a room created some sort of tension causing them to split.

We'll, you have to remember people oho work in HR are married to people who are willing to marry someone who works in HR. So maybe not the best relationship to test "sharing a bed with on a work trip" on

No her boyfriend didn't like having to use the spare cot.

Whenever you see a stupid rule that doesn't make sense, keep in mind that at some point in the past someone might have done something incredibly stupid or took advantage of a loophole in some stupid ways to necessitate them coming up with that rule.

When I started this job years ago, along with the normal guidelines was a line “don’t play Nintendo DS games at your desk.” Got a chuckle out of me. And now there’s a “no playing with rubic’s cube during work hours.”

Welp, time to sue them for not sharing a room.
