I've got a business trip to an exhibition in January.It means three nights staying in a hotel.
Due to a change in policy (ie cost cutting) my company is now saying we have to share a twin room with a colleague.
For obvious reasons I don't want to do this.
Am I being unreasonable? I can't afford to book a room in the hotel that they have booked, so i'm thinking that I will try to find a Premier inn or similar not too far way. It would also mean taking my own transport in order to get to the hotel each night from the venue.

'policy change'... Have you had that in writing? have you had a revised staff handbook? Sounds like someone is making s
t up to me to justify the stay over and keep the budget in check in order that someone more senior doesn't kill the event due to overspend.
No nothing is in writing. We're a small company, only 9 permanent staff. The directors do all the organising of hotels/travel etc.![](/inc/images/censored.gif)
There's no option not to go. This is a major event for our company.
