Makes perfect sense to me. When you shut down your office the first thing you do is shut off the cash before people decide to have the night out with other peoples money. Its very easy to max out a card and the other party having no chance to come back and require you to pay it back.
I gotta agree with FD here to a certain extent. The only way I don't agree is if Romney asked these staffers to put on events or something campaign related that would cost money, and when it came time to pay the card was dead. The article didn't state that as the case. Seems like a generally smart move. If I quit a company and have a corporate card, I expect it to be dead on my last day.

I highly doubt it's procedure to cut those cards off immediately like that with bills still left to be paid. Also, I don't think that has been a huge problem with some staffer going out and blowing money on a CC that he would most definitely have to pay back anyways. They normally have other business to conclude afterwards that need funding. Cutting them off the night off is stupid. No two ways about it.

Well, your last day wouldn't be your last day if there were still loose ends to tie up, bills still left to be paid. I mean, whos going to clean up? They just leaving all the stuff there?
No.

Getting a cab ride home is not a loose end and it actually sounds like he was done and going home. Ask my buddy how it feels to toss an employee the keys to his vet to run an erran and the person never came back. Couldn't press charges because he gave her the keys to use his car.

That's not what the police told my buddy. They said when he tossed her the keys if he didn't tell her to go straight to the bank and back they could not arrest her. They did arrest her for stealing the money she took but not his car/vet and she was caught in FL.

When I was an OFA staffer in '08 the campaign gave us new laptops, we kept our cell phones/Blackberry, and they paid us for the remainder of the month even though the election had ended.
My point isn't to compare how generous OFA was, but how loyalty and showing people you care matters when you want to enlist them four years later. Those people Romney burned will never work for his ass again. It was a dick move to shut down the cards with no advance notice, especially since those staffers were probably working for low wages to begin with.
But whatevs..the election is over. Couldn't care less about Romney.
