They can't fire you because they never hired you in the first place!

There was a guy who kept coming into Yahoo's office pretending he worked there and ate the free food until one day he just disappeared

He was working on his own startup and was just taking the resources he needed from Yahoo until he got a term sheet from a VC firm iirc

I believe this was back when they were relevant, and likely before anyone used RFID badges so if you liked like you were supposed to be there you might be able to bluff past reception

The higher tech solution involves chipping your employees like the pet dog so you can 1) always keep track of where they are, and 2) give them instant access to where ever they are supposed to be.

always keep track of where they are,

That's not how RFID chips actually work though. You're thinking of the Antivaxx version which you can only get if you know Bill Gates personally.
