People endlessly complain that the SBB is 'always' late.

Like if you have a semi-important meeting in Zurich at 9am It's perfectly fine to take a train which arrives in Zurich at 8:53.

And in an unlikely scenario that the train is late, everyone will agree that it's a valid circumstance.

Assuming zero time to walk into office (just saying), one day they will start scheduling meetings at 8:53 because we all do get here at 8:53.

Better to arrive (a couple minutes) late than to leave one minute early.
