It's simple.

For now, take CFP gas (adjusted for ZFW change) religiously just like the company wants--no more, no less. Operate prudently and by the book but don't look for helpful efficiency gains. If looking like below divert (most conservative figure) given delays and field conditions divert. Don't try to fudge things to make it or consider IFR if you are fairly certain of known ATC delays (which is usually the case).

If weather conditions given TAF require more then take more just like everyone always does.

DO check for messages when required then go comm out.

DON'T answer the phone if you don't have to.

DON'T work G days under any circumstances.

DON'T be helpful.

IF for whatever reason (especially a roster change) you are in a "gray" area for fatigue (i.e. on the edge of being too tired but maybe sorta could fly) make the conservative call, fill out an ASR-F and don't fly.

And wait for further escalation if it happens.

No company has ever become or stayed profitable with a bunch of stooges on board; conversely judgment and initiative requires adequate compensation and maintenance of same. If they want to pay for stooges they can have stooges.
