My boss is furious I didn't give my first class seat to her and left her stuck in economy

An employee faced a furious boss after flying with her on a company trip after he was offered a free upgrade to first class - and didn't offer it to her. He acknowledged that the company paid for his plane ticket, but stressed he was given the free upgrade due to the use of his personal credit card and travel. The employee ran into trouble with his boss after he was given a free upgrade to first class, based on his frequent flyer points and use of his credit card, owned by the same company as the airline But his boss, who was left stuck in economy, became angry and accused him of having a 'lack of respect for protocol' Describing the situation as 'insane', the anonymous user asked for others' advice on whether he had acted reasonably. While the company paid for my seat, it's my own personal credit card spending, and frequent travel that earned me the upgraded seat.
