The badge story only shows how people are looking for "efficiency" where it doesn't matter, with predictable results.
The badge system should be local to the building. There are few actual reasons (sure, besides "efficiency") of why badge control should be centralized. Even less reasons for it to be a subdomain of fb. Another option would be to keep the system but make it failsafe (but it seems the newer generation doesn't know what that means). If the network goes down keep it at the last config. Badge validation should be offline first and added/removed ones should be broadcast periodically.
This is the same issue with smartlocks times the number of employees. Do you really want to add another point of failure between yourself and your home?
