    Also, it’s hard for me to believe that Amazon was ever NOT monitoring, measuring and aggregating employee badge swipe data.

    Exactly. At the very least it’s being logged, and has been since day one. A company as large as Amazon is going to have a full fledged reporting suite built into whatever solution they built around.

      They’ve always logged. They just don’t have any type of reporting beyond “Yes, the badge was scanned on this day at this time”. And that isn’t even tied to any other system.

      They run a report to create a spreadsheet that managers have to look over. Then they remove people from the spreadsheet who don’t have to come in. It goes back to, I assume, HR to handle after that.

      A bunch of people are going in, scanning, riding the elevators up, screw around, ride the elevators down, badge out, and go home. That, so far, will keep them off the sheets.

        Given how oppressive the employee monitoring is on the blue collar side, I’m surprised they skimped on the white collar side.
