Cooking Chicken in a Hotel Coffee Machine

I'm traveling for work and instead of eating a fancy dinner out, I've decided to cook a cheaper meal in the hotel room. Even though the hotel room didn’t have a kitchen, I managed to use the coffee machine to cook chicken with butter and garlic. Although my company allows me to expense dinner while traveling, I wanted to save money because I know that every dollar counts on the P&L. It’s the little things that get you promoted #work #money #hotel #coffee #promotion #careeradvice

A social media post claims that a traveler cooked chicken with butter and garlic inside a hotel coffee machine to save money. The joke is the absurd mismatch between corporate career advice and an unhygienic, improvised cooking method, presented as the kind of frugality that earns a promotion. It is used as a sarcastic reaction to extreme penny-pinching or questionable workplace hustle.
