Perhaps yes. (hence my justification included the company not being out of pocket) The 3 times I remember something like this happening I was the one inconvenienced and there was no additional cost incurred.

In one case I did feel a little guilty though ;-) Going BOS-LHR my wife (same flight, different PNR) was offered $500 compensation to fly the next day. I volunteered too (because of status I hadn't been offered it) so we got $1,000 to stay in our apartment an extra night before going back to the UK for a holiday.
