Coffee badging is a controversial office trend where employees show up to the office briefly, primarily to fulfill in-office mandates, and then continue working from home. Despite its controversy, over 50% of hybrid workers have admitted to partaking in coffee badging, as revealed in a 2023 report by Owl Labs. This trend has been further solidified by the increase in hybrid work arrangements, leading to companies tracking badge swipes and potential consequences on career progression based on office attendance data. While employers may be tempted to rely on badge logs for productivity assessment, experts urge caution as badge swipes may not accurately reflect an employee's performance at work.
