'They're going to be pulling the office keycard data to see who actually does go in': Employee comes up with grand scheme to avoid in person work

The lengths people will go to avoid time in the office are truly inspiring.

This employee figured out a way to avoid as much in-person office time as possible following the announcement by their bosses that everyone is required to work in the office two days a week. Their system of monitoring this is to use office keycard data to see who "checks in" and how often they do. The problem is that they have no way of monitoring how long you actually stay there. So what did this Redditor do? Well, they scheduled an in-person meeting twice a week for one hour only and decided to go with a "get in, get out quickly" strategy.

If this continues to work with no one else noticing, we have to say that we're impressed. Take notes from this Redditor, everyone.
