Since I work for large banks....those who do have to go in often do “coffee badging”. They show up at the building. Swipe their badge to get in. Then leave and go back home after a short while. Leaving is not logged since you don’t have to swipe your badge to get out of the building so unless you have a meeting they might not have any idea that you’re not actually there.
Many others come in in the morning then leave for home at about 1pm right after lunch. Almost everybody hates it. The only people who seem to like going into the office are those looking to exert control over others or the younger employees who are looking to socialize in the office.
Meanwhile, the backbone of this country has to go to work every day.
