We’ve got big news to share!

Today’s a big day for us—say hello to Andrei and Gabi, our co-founders, who’ve got exciting news about how Pluria is bringing teams together, anywhere.

The rise of 'coffee badging' & office tracking techniques

?You’ve probably heard: PwC UK will start tracking where their employees are to make sure they’re actually in the office.

?I mean… yeah, I know!

?Meanwhile, companies like Amazon and Dell are cracking down on “coffee badging” — that’s when you actually go to the office, but only to drink the company’s coffee, have a quick chat with a coworker, and then you go home for some real work.

?Seriously, you can’t make this stuff up! But I’ll give it a try:

• Wi-Fi hopping – arriving at the office, connecting to the company Wi-Fi for a few minutes to check emails, and then mysteriously “losing signal” for the rest of the day.
• Coat-hanging – coming to the office just to leave your jacket on the chair, creating the illusion you’re there, when in fact you’re off working remotely from your favorite café.
• Meeting-fading – joining the first 10 minutes of a meeting to nod thoughtfully, then quietly slipping away, only to be working from a rooftop bar with an amazing view.

Oh, and if “coffee badging” sounds like your kind of thing, you’re in luck! We’ve got some great work cafés in our network, and you can bring your teammates there as well.
