Finally got someone complaining to me about charging: "Why don't they pay for my gas?" "They should tax you for income on how much energy you take because it's a benefit."
I responded that they are probably trying to promote a "green" image for the company by encouraging electric vs. gas. And that I would not have a problem if they taxed me based on my energy consumption cost as a benefit. I mean, they tax you if you get a $10 gift card, so why not on $400 of electricity. Then I asked him if I should be able to charge my phone at my desk for free...
