Evidence from [[Gallup, Inc.|Gallup]] surveys in the [[United States]] suggests that the relationship has deteriorated in recent years. The percentage of American employees believing their organizations care about them fell from a lockdown high of 48% in April 2020 to a low of 24% in August 2024, aligning with the symptoms of contract breach empirically identified by psychologists. When employees perceive that employers have violated this implicit agreement, such as through the unilateral implementation of return-to-office mandates and attendance requirements, their perceived obligation to reciprocate with compliance diminishes accordingly.

This response aligns with the logic of [[reciprocal altruism]], positing that over the course of our evolutionary history, cooperative social living depended on reliably detecting and responding to defection.>{{Cite journal |last=Trivers |first=Robert L. |date=1971 |title=The Evolution of Reciprocal Altruism |url=https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/406755 |journal=The Quarterly Review of Biology |language= |volume=46 |issue=1 |pages=35–57 |doi=10.1086/406755 |issn=0033-5770}}>>{{Cite journal |last=Axelrod |first=Robert |last2=Hamilton |first2=William D. |date=1981-03-27 |title=The Evolution of Cooperation |url=https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.7466396 |journal=Science |language=en |volume=211 |issue=4489 |pages=1390–1396 |doi=10.1126/science.7466396 |issn=0036-8075}}> Within reciprocal altruism, the [[Tit for tat#Game theory|“tit-for-tat” strategy]] has been identified as among the most effective, meaning in the past, using it would have resulted in greater odds of survival. Under this framework, coffee badging represents a low-risk modern expression of reciprocal withdrawal for employees proportional to their perception that their implicit contract has been breached.
