Amazon office
Amazon has called workers back to the office. Some employees worry that badge-swipe data will be monitored to ensure compliance.
  • Amazon tracks team-level office badge data, internal emails show.
  • Companies commonly use badge data for facilities management and safety reasons.
  • Workers fear this data will be used to monitor for compliance with its return-to-office mandate.

Next week, Amazon's mandate that employees come into their assigned offices at least three days a week goes into effect. And, as Insider previously reported, anxiety over the issue is high among employees who are not clear what the repercussions are if they don't — or can't —immediately comply.
