Offices and other workplaces were shut during the COVID-19 pandemic, and people started working from home. When the virus cases subsided, employees started to come back, but a lot of things were changed.
In the post-pandemic era, we have come across words like moonlighting, quiet quitting, and quiet firing, but have you heard about "coffee badging"?
The term coffee badging is an old concept, but its usage has become common these days.
It means employees coming to the office, having coffee, chatting with colleagues, and then leaving. They just earn a symbolic "badge" for attendance.
This trending word denotes those who go out for coffee with coworkers, just after swiping the ID badge to confirm attendance.
The coffee badging term is often seen as a form of opposition to recent return-to-office mandates.
