@Amy – ah yes, the morning swipe…I’ve also heard of the lunch swipe – come in for the catered lunch (designed to lure people in) but leave afterwards. The truth is, it’s hard to work in an open plan office – many times a home office is just a lot more conducive to getting things done!

With many departments at my company going fully remote and having the transferrable skills for a lot of those roles, I’ve recently made a change purely for the chance to be remote. It seems like a poor talent strategy within my company that this is even happening, but there you go!

And yes, there are a lot of people who went in for an hour in the morning to swipe their badges and then left. Fun fact, most places you don’t have to swipe on the way out so there is a lot of this badge swipe gaming going on across corporate offices right now!
