Many companies treat the cleaning crew like trash. Unpredictable scheduling, no benefits, minimum wage pay combine to make it so a very small bribe would get an attacker into a building, where they could plant gear in the drop ceiling and more.

Doing right by your workers would go a long way towards plugging this vulnerability.

While you should always treat your employees well, I'm not talking about creating a disgruntled employee leading to problems.

The example given was a route someone could use to be invited into the building. Nothing is stopping you from being a blue collar worker, especially if you're willing to fake a work history.
