NFC RFID badges have a range of 10-20 cm. Unless an employer is requiring badging in and out of the bathroom or is using UHF RFID badges (is there even such a thing?), your assertion is unlikely to be true.

Leaving and re-entering your office, buzzing the locks on the way?

Although it's plausible, I would think that offices with a layout that requires badging out to reach an external restroom are rare. Seems as if there would be fire or disaster evacuation concerns.

Not really, in case of a fire alarm all doors unlock anyway.
When I was a consultant I visited many offices where I needed a badge to go to the loo. It's really common in shared office buildings, the toilets tend to be in the elevator hall outside the badge perimeter. Don't think they were monitoring it though.

My building has the toilets in the fire escape stairs which you can push button out to but badge back in from. You would have some difficulty measuring time since you don't know who pushed the button but you could certainly measure frequency.

It depends upon the office. Where I work, we rent space in a building, and the restrooms are shared by multiple tenants on the floor (each floor has a set of bathrooms), so I (and my fellow coworkers) have to badge out and in to use them.

The face recognition cameras catch you on the way out, the camera catches you on the way back in.

So you are saying that a sensor on both sides of a doorway frame should be enough to capture all RFIDs passing through? If they dont already ask you for the ID to open doors on the way....
