It’s a mistake if the company is healthy. But if individual workers are in a position to get a performance bonus or impress their boss, it may be worth it for them to spend some money to ensure that would happen. It would also be a bad work environment.

It won't impress anyone. All it will do is incentivize them to see what else they can get out of you for free. They won't respect you if you don't respect yourself.

And yet if you don't get the job done due to slow company approval process you get the blame for it, and possibly at the cost of your Job. It is rather unfortunate that this isn't a minority but many of today's company, from SME to Fortune 500 operate in a similar fashion.

If they make it such a hassle to spend $100, what do you think their bonus policy is like?
