My boss was not too excited to find out that his employees who often drive as much as 40,000 miles a year can't write their miles off now. He has always covered gas, oil changes and any work the vehicles needed but we wrote the miles off ourselves to cover the wear and devaluation. So he is going to have to pick up the tab for that now for around 40 employees. Probably about $100,000 out of his pocket. I am 100000% honest about this. HE IS PISSED!
