Not saying that's what happened here, but "Forced to share a bed with someone" could also mean that the company didn't pay for single rooms on a business trip and the hotel put folks into double rooms because they didn't have twin rooms.

That happened to me in the past, and it's something I will never accept again, but it's not sexual assault. It's just a result of crazy expensive hotels in some cities.

>"Forced to share a bed with someone" could also mean...

That's an extremely gratituous reading of the situation that is unwarranted.

You were not "forced" to share a bed, because nobody would give a fuck if you opted out and paid for your own hotel stay.

>Not saying that's what happened here, but

...you're implying it was a possibility. Why defend the corporate here?

I'd get a separate room and file to expense it, arguing it must have been a company mistake. There's no way they could have a retort to that.
