Has she done the ex-pat thing before? Would she have had the knowledge to realise this number was out of line?

I have a lot of ex-pat friends and hear stories about benes- private school tuiton for thier kids, boarding school in the home country for their kids (people in Saudi), university tuition, all moving costs, certain travel costs, tax advantages, etc. It sounds like a great deal.

If she is new than she might have simply thought, “wow, this is great, just like I always heard” If she is an old hand, then did she know it was an error and hoped to capitalise on that? Or do some companies do things that way?

Is she uninformed or unethical or somewhere in the middle?
