Leaked screenshot shows Amazon is now tracking individual employee office attendance records, reversing its anonymized data policy::Amazon is now sharing individual employee office attendance records in its latest move to force workers back to the office.
It’s one of many KPIs that can be evaluated to create a larger picture. I’m pretty sure the aggregation of data is powerful shit. But who knows, I could be wrong.
For jobs that literally require you to be there in person to do your work, maybe. But if you only need a laptop and an internet connection to work, tracking badging and time spent in the office absolutely does not measure productivity, especially for a tech giant like Amazon of all places. Bottom line is they want people back in the office because they are paying for all those empty buildings, not because there’s a dip in productivity due to remote work.
You are wrong. This is 20th century mentality. We are in the 21st.
