Broadcom has some great network monitoring technology. Do you really think they can't track the location of the company laptop? Good luck with your stupid ideas.

I pooped in front of the badge reader as often as possible and this has worked wonders for mgmt not requiring me to badge in any more.

I took a page from credit card skimmers and 3D printed a cover that snaps onto the existing card reader. Inside, there’s a Raspberry PI Zero W and some other hardware that captures the badge and replays it to the reader.

At random times during the work day, it sends my badge data and unlocks the door for a few seconds.

we have a shared group of 5. We take turns and most of the time you only have to show up once a week. We still working on the schedule how to scan, because we don't want it to be obvious if for 4 months 5 ppl showing up at the same time. We have some routines, but still working on improvements.

Install a robot arm in the office to swipe your badge.

Sharpen the edge of your badge and use it to swipe off HT’s fingers. You only need to show up to do this 10 times and then it’s over.

Drive to the office in the morning
Badge in before 9am

I've been using this hack for months, no one has caught on yet.
