I did the Amtrak thing for a long time from PVD into BBY. If you're right in Back Bay, getting back in an emergency is pretty easy. At best, you hit the next train, whatever it is (MBTA or Amtrak), at worst you just eat a $100 Uber ride. The latter is a last resort, but if the money is alright then it's still a net win if you have to use it.

Your company will also likely understand, in my experience, because you can still get stuff done on the train.

Thanks! That's my hope. If they're flexible and I can just plan to be in early / out early, it shouldn't be too bad

Oh, also - park at the mall if you're not going in early. It takes the guesswork out of if there's parking right at the station or not. Super short walk across the street, and the rates are similar for a full workday. It's massive, so there's always a spot.
