Many employees are ignoring return-to-office (RTO) policies, and some are willing to quit their jobs if they are forced to comply, according to a survey of more than 1,000 U.S. employees by Resume Builder. Most employees indicated they fully abide by their company's RTO rules, but 18 percent said they sometimes find a way around the policy, 2 percent said they rarely follow company RTO policies, and 1 percent said they never follow RTO policies. 

Employees working a hybrid schedule are less compliant with their employer's office attendance policies, the survey found. Only 61 percent of workers required to be in the office between one and three days per week fully abide by that policy.

Employees are skirting RTO policies in a variety of ways, including having a co-worker swipe or sign them in and out. Most commonly, employees get around RTO policies by leaving the office early. This has led to a new moniker for such employees—coffee badgers, those who show up to the office, get their coffee and then leave.
