This is what you call a 'big-brained move." After all, your employer can't fire you for being late if you don't show up at all, and—if you've played your cards right—there's always that sick leave you've got piling up that is begging to be used.
The only way to deal with any draconian workplace policy is to fly in the face of it. By definition, these policies and the organizations that impose them often have a singular use case in mind that is built specifically around a certain behavior the organization is trying to brutally discourage. Often comically, these policies haven't considered a single alternative scenario apart from the one that the management team dreamt up on a random Tuesday afternoon, leaving openings for loopholes and absurd methods of exploitation.
That's where you end with stories like this one, where workers explain how the brutally oppressive tardy policies of their workplace drove them to just head home instead when they were running minutes late. That's what this worker did when he found himself running moments late for his job at a warehouse, facing an imminent firing thanks to strict policy, he instead turned around and drove home.
