Honestly, if you can't understand how absolutely debilitating this is over a tiny misstep, I hardly know what to say. People commit manslaughter and get off easier that this. It's in no way reasonable to say that "Oh, you shouldn't have used the company card to pay 20$ for your kid - you deserve life-ruining debt".
Multiple colossal missteps.
Correct. He should have spent $0 on a company credit card for his kid. He could have spent $20 from his own personal card, which presumably would have more reasonable limits. He should have ensured the card required a pin to use so that unauthorized charges couldn't accrue.
I feel bad for him, too, but he's incredibly stupid and I don't see why anyone else should have to cover his ass for his own fuckup.
As far as I can tell none of my cards have any single limits. When I remodeled my house I charged 45k to one to buy materials and pay contractors.
You have a credit limit so you can't have a balance above it. You can easily spend 45K of you keep paying off, though
Of course there is an overall limit. I was just pointing out that charging a large amount single purchase doesn't put anything in your way unless your purchase will exceed that upper limit
Allowing a child to associate their happiness with view counts is a terrible idea. Already too many sociopaths in "content creation" as it is.
