Short of simply refusing to turn up office workers are finding new creative solutions to limit their in-person hours. The most popular trend du jour, driven largely by millennials, is 'coffee badging'.

Amazon Prime making a TV show blasting Convention of States probably wasn’t on your bingo card. But, alas, here we are. The show is called Shiny Happy People: A Teenage Holy War, and it’s a sensationalized polemic about an evangelical organization that apparently “radicalized” Christian youth, which takes an unexpected turn into “exposing” the COS grassroots who want to “rewrite the Constitution.” According to the series’ description, “Teen Mania captivated a generation of fervent evangelical Millennial kids with adrenaline-fueled, ecstatic religious experiences through ‘Acquire the Fire’ rallies.
