What does the term coffee badging mean?

Many are “coffee badging,” or swiping their ID badges at the office to record their arrival, staying 30 minutes or so ‒ long enough to greet colleagues and grab a cup of coffee – and then heading back home.

For workers who don’t have to swipe a badge, simply establishing their presence or saying “hi” to some colleagues, dropping by a co-worker’s cubicle, or talking loudly in the hallway before “quietly disappearing” serves a similar purpose, said Christopher Nickson, vice president of Segal Group, a human resources consulting firm.
