Are you coffee badging?

2022 was the year of the quiet quit. 2023 was the year of coffee badging.  Coffee badging is when a remote worker comes to the office to “badge in”, grabs a cup of coffee, says hello, then returns home to get back to work. The Automationer asks how did you coffee badge in 2023?

“I thought a coffee badge was something I earned as an incentive for the number of cups I drank during the year. So I won’t get an actual badge?”
– Joey T., Director of Plant Operations

“Oh, I just come to the office during my coffee breaks because the office coffee is so much better than what I have at the house.”
– Beth Ann D., Project Engineer

“Wait, so I could have just grabbed some coffee and then gone home? Will this still be a thing in 2024?”
– Jimmy G., Electrical Technician
