| schestowitz[TR2] | @z6 You are 100% correct. The measurement and only measurement is that you use your badge at the Site. Even if your Site has badge readers to exit the Site this would not be captured in the process - they just capture that you used your badge on that day (it does not matter how many times you use your badge. Management receive reports covering employees who have not used their badge on 3 days of the week. This was all explained to | Jan 23 05:13 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | You are just another id--t spreading lies... There is no badge out at the Atlanta office for sure. There is no requirement for me to get an IP address while at the office, I could be there to get my coffee only and have meetings with people. They are still getting my badge in 3 times a week.
