Living in a region that experience winter, there are sometimes massive delays in the morning due to snow (or even just a random crash). In particular, my commute time was tripled today and so I showed up markedly late.
We are expected to be at work until a set time, so I have no reason to show up early since I can't leave early, so mitigating chances of being late by arriving early every day is not reasonable because it would be 100% my burden. We are also expected to be at work for a minimum time every day, so I would have to stay just as late as I arrived to not raise any red flags.
Therefore, when there is a very outlier commute time in the morning, is it ethically my responsibility to stay equally late as I arrived (when it doesn't significantly affect anything such as deadlines)?
We know from market economics that tax burdens are distributed to both parties (e.g. if you levy a 10% sales tax on the merchant, they'll just charge 5% higher to customers so the tax burden is equally distributedI am failing to find a reference using Google, help please?). I see these two situations as very similar, therefore I should only be obligated to stay late to make up for half of the time I show up late (remember, arriving late today was abnormal).
So, when I approach my manager about this issue, is it reasonable to expect such a compromise?
Also, is there any difference if it were the case of having a scheduled commitment after work that would be prevented by staying late at work to make up time?
