My boss asked me if I wanted to go on a business trip to visit the headquarters of our database vendor next week, mainly because I've never been down there before and we might be buying a portal from them. So anyway, he, myself, and his boss are going, so he asked me to make reservations at a nearby hotel. Naturally, when I called I reserved three rooms. Later on that day (this was Friday) he asked me if I had called yet, and I told him I had "the rooms" reserved. He suddenly froze, and asked me how many rooms I had gotten. When I told him 3, I thought he was going to pass out. He started freaking out, saying that his boss "would never approve that much expense" and that whenever they travel they always share rooms. (His boss is, how do you say, careful with money). I looked at him blankly, and he told me I had to call back and change it to one room. I told him I thought that was totally inappropriate for coworkers to stay in the same hotel room, and that that was not how things were done in any business I've ever worked. He told me that it didn't matter and I had to change the reservation. I still haven't, but what do you think? Is this not totally inappropriate? I don't know what I'm going to do tomorrow, but I think I'm basically going to say that one way or another I need a separate room. Have any of you ever been forced to spend the night in the same room with coworkers? If so, how did you handle it?
