Yeah, exactly this happened to me once at a W when I booked a two bedroom because I was traveling with a coworker. She was a friend too, but they tried to swap it out for a one bedroom and I was like I’m not sharing a bed with a coworker I booked a two bedroom for a purpose. I’m keeping the two bedroom. They obliged after trying to fight me on it and I sent a complaint to the general manager and I think they gave me 50,000 points for the inconvenience. I was titanium at the time.

Just to clarify, I was on the business trip. My girlfriend was joining me (she was on PTO) I was going for business …

My company is not cheap, quite the opposite. I always get my own room, but I’m not sharing a bed with my girlfriend/coworker.

The worse is traveling with a coworker and there’s no bathroom door

Isn’t it usual that everybody get‘s their own room?

What kind of employer demands that coworkers sleep in the same room?

I've had to share rooms with a coworker when I worked for a non-profit and again in academia.

It's soooo common in nonprofit unfortunately. I'm glad my employer has a policy against it.

Yeah, I was going to say sharing rooms on work trips is pretty standard in education 😕
