    Agreed. It’s updating your status to in-office and updating your office room location.

    Many hybrid workforces already have software that’s doing this as part of desk hoteling.

    If you’re online and not in the office, it’s not updating your location to your home address.

    This is useful for coworkers to figure out where they are at so they can sit close. It might not sound like a useful feature at first but consider how large a campus like Microsoft is. Knowing what building and floor someone is at makes it much easier to work together.

    Some of the other responses here make it sound like they’ve never signed in with a badge before.

      Just imagine what we could achieve if we could somehow communicate with eachothers verbally!
