In a minimum of 200 words, how would you respond to the following question.When Joe asks for a raise, his boss praises his work but says the company's ridgid budget won't allow any further merit raises for the time being. Instead the boss suggests the company wont look too closely at your expense accounts for awhile. Should Joe take this as authorization to pad his expense account because he is simply getting the money he deserves through a different route or should he not take this roundabout raise?
