Amazon's New Office-Tracking Tool Monitors Employee Attendance

Amazon's New Office-Tracking Tool Monitors Employee Attendance

Amazon has created a new tool that tracks how often employees come to the office and how long they stay.

This tool uses the data from when employees swipe their badges to enter the office.

It shows managers how often each person comes to the office and how many hours they spend there.

The tool also groups employees into categories based on their attendance, like 'Low-Time Badgers' for those who spend less than four hours a day in the office.

Amazon says this tool is to help managers support employees in meeting the company's office attendance rules.

Some employees feel this makes them feel like they are being watched too closely.

Other big companies are also starting to track how often their employees come to the office.
