'Coffee badging' work trend sees people leaving work after just a few hours

The new work trend could be due to low staff morale

Imagine clocking in at work only to leave after making yourself a quick coffee?

No longer will hybrid workers be utilising Costa or Nero - they’re getting it for free at work.

This new work trend called ‘coffee badging’ sees workers decide to head on in to have a cuppa and show their faces before leaving and continuing their work from home.

Because hybrid workers are mandated to come into work, TikTokers have taken this to mean that they can come to work for any length of time, even just for a chitchat.

After several videos were uploaded by users who claim to swipe their card and make a coffee before waving goodbye, it’s the new office trend that a lot of people can get behind.

The reason they do this? They say they are more productive at home.

Amen.

According to a survey by Owl Labs, 58 per cent of hybrid workers in the US have admitted to taking part in 'coffee badging'.

But will it cost you a promotion?

Speaking to the Huffington Post, an anonymous human resource worker said she wanted to reward those who worked the longest hours with a promotion and immediately checked their swipe cards.

But research by Employment Hero shows the pandemic could be to blame for this trend, after it hit young people and their motivation to work, with 51 per cent of those polled saying that the pandemic decreased how important a career was for them.

Jill Cotton, the Career Trends Expert at Glassdoor, told MailOnline: “Workers should not see this as a long-term solution to any problems they have in the workplace.

“While you think you might be quiet quitting and doing the bare minimum, those around you may think you are literally just showing your face, you don't like your job and want to hide behind others.

“Is there a danger of losing your job when quiet quitting? I would say yes. It can really damage your long-term career prospects.

“If you are not looking for extra opportunities, access to training, engaging with leaders and making your work known, just coming in and going away, it's difficult to achieve anything.

“The other big danger of using quiet quitting as a long-term strategy is that your experience might stagnate while your peers move on, making it tricky to find another job.

“And in future interviews when hiring managers ask for examples of your achievements, if you are doing the bare minimum you may struggle for answers.

“This doesn't mean that the only way to get ahead is to work yourself to the bone or put yourself at risk of burnout, but if you find yourself wanting to disengage from your role, reflect upon why this might be and talk to your line manager.”

So, it seems like if things need to change at work, worker motivation and morale need to be the first things on the agenda of CEO’s.

Otherwise the ‘coffee badging’ will continue.
