> Maybe there is a middle ground here where you could allocate $50/year for these sort of expenditures in order to prevent them from getting out of hand?

Here I would agree and indeed I think certain people misunderstood my original comment.

What I was trying to say originally is a bad boss is one who has an open-wallet policy to "but its just $10 a year", because that sort of policy will absolutely come back and bite them or their company in the backside one day once the numbers start adding up. So yes, absolutely, set a hard dollar limit per employee and we're in agreement.

Because yes, if you don't, things will soon get out of hand (as I posted in more detail a little further down).
