In this episode of Hiring to Firing, hosts Tracey Diamond and Emily Schifter explore the concept of “coffee badging”—a post-pandemic workplace phenomenon where employees badge in, grab a cup of coffee, and then work remotely for the rest of the day. Joined by Donna Griffin from Intelligentsia Coffee, the discussion delves into the implications of return-to-office mandates, generational differences in work preferences, and the evolving dynamics of remote and hybrid work environments. Discover how coffee, culture, and corporate policies intersect in today’s workplace.
