Literally yesterday we had an issue with someone trying to piggyback into the office behind an employee who had badged in. Said person was intoxicated and removed his pants in the elevator, so it was immediately apparent there was a problem, but what happens when it's someone more nondescript?

About two years after my company was bought by a larger one, I was the first person at the office one morning, only to find someone waiting outside the doors. Before I could ask, he introduced himself as an employee from an out-of-town office, and produced a company ID, so I let him in with me.

We had been told to expect some visitors from that office, but I was almost hoping he was not legit, since most of us at my location still do not have a company ID, so I couldn't really say if his was real or not.
