Be careful what you ask for. The other downside is if you do miss a commute you WILL be disciplined if you didn't comply with all of that. I preferred the current system, make a *reasonable* effort under the circumstances and call in honest.
The issue becomes “reasonable” is now determined by your local management. What if they’re having a bad day? I’m sure for senior guys that may have a positive working relationship established with their BCP’s it’s no biggie, but for the new guys who have never met their BCP that term “reasonable” can be varied based on the mood of the man/woman in charge
