Amazon employee says company tracks office hours, calls it ‘infantalizing’

An Amazon employee has revealed that the e-commerce giant tracks how many hours employees spend in the office, calling the practice “infantalizing”. The employee was among a dozen others who spoke to Business Insider about Amazon’s strict 5-days-in-office mandate, life under the shadow of layoffs, AI pressure, and more.

A total of twelve employees opened up about their experience of working at Amazon at a time when layoffs in the tech industry have become all too prevalent, and fully remote work has given way to in-person attendance.
