They can require four of you to share one room if they wish,
two to a bed. If you don't like the company's policy, you
can (1) quit, or (2) offer to pay the difference between a
shared room and a private room and see if your employer will
go for it. Lots of employers require same-gender employees
to share hotel rooms.
