Your employer said you had to show up at the office. But they never said you had to stay there. That’s the ethos behind coffee badging, the latest buzzword(s) used to describe workers who don’t want to work in the traditional way.

It’s the practice of showing up at your workplace just long enough to swipe your badge and prove you were there, and maybe grab a coffee with a colleague or take a quick meeting. After that, you leave the workplace and spend the rest of the day working from home, or a coffee shop, or wherever you choose.
