#track

Some folks said the resignations are already starting to show on LinkedIn. One was confirmed yesterday, but I didn’t see who it was since it was on someone’s phone.

Does anyone have a list or a post of those who have resigned, or has anyone seen news of an official resignation? We should keep a tally. Let the good times roll. Glad these folks are not going down with the ship!

This seems like a rumor or trolls on these boards

Just an FYI. Our division head was told Friday, IP address tracking and log in times are now being used to cross check FULL days in office. The reporting has always been around, senior management is now reviewing on a monthly basis.
There is discussion regarding adding a dropdown when logging in as well. Attesting when you are logging in, In Office or Remote.

I’ve never worked at a place where they put this much effort into trying to punish employees.

Last week I did not go into the office and I worked at home. Does Amazon really know where you are working at? I'm thinking I am going to continue staying at home and work. I made it a habit a long time ago not to talk to any of my coworkers when I was going into the office because I don't trust ant of them.

Do not access this website while connected to the guest WiFi in the office! They’ve begun to track usage back to your phone’s IP address.

Guys
any idea how are they tracking RTO? I hate 4-1
is coffee badging still doable?

Our place stack ranks for reviews and it's terrible for morale. What about in office hours? When you rto do they mandate hours? 8 min? What about activity and keystroke reports? The salary is comparable but rto five days is a red flag. I can't ask the recruiter some of these things but they matter for quality of life.

Anyone know what this is?

Digital activity has become a hot topic with leadership lately. We’re being told that if you don’t show consistent online activity, you could be flagged as “inactive,” which honestly has people worried about job security.

I’m trying to understand how this actually works in real life. We use the restroom, take lunch, attend meetings, step away to think, or work offline at times. Does that count against us? Are we really expected to show nonstop keystrokes for 8 hours straight?

Is anyone familiar with how this digital activity or logging process is tracked? Would appreciate insight from anyone who’s dealt with this or knows how it’s supposed to work.

Folks, so many posts referring to forcing a badge out. This can not be done in the US in any state as it violates every states fire codes. You can NOT force a badge swipe to grant an exit from a building. It's simply not allowed as a safety item ANYWHERE.

LOB and number

I’m trying to connect with other employees (former or current) who’ve noticed what seems like a pattern of POC being disproportionately impacted by recent layoffs.

Rather than rely on rumors or surface-level reporting, I want to collect real data from people who’ve experienced it directly.

The goal isn’t to name names... it’s to highlight a potential pattern that may otherwise go unseen. If enough people contribute, we could create something powerful and fact-based to bring visibility to what’s happening.

Please comment race/ s-x of the people who have laid off in your division this year.

Please stop conflating in-office requirements with digital activity. The expectation that has been put out is 8 hours in-office. Period. Somehow this has been conflated by id--t managers who are telling their team that they must also have 8 hours of digital activity. This is nonsense. In order to achieve 8 hours of digital activity you would have to be in-office for more than 8 hours (assuming you use the restroom, collaborate with others, eat lunch, etc.).

The fact that they can track digital activity hasn’t even been formally announced, nor have there been any expectations set around it. If we don’t separate the two, we run the risk of 8 hours of digital activity becoming some unwritten rule/norm that we’re all unnecessarily following. Let’s not bring that evil on ourselves. Show up to the office 3 days a week for 8 hours/day and try to have more than a few hours of activity per day.

In tech. Recently there has increased visibility from leadership into our metrics/projects/etc. Our Jira boards and backlogs are regularly monitored and critiqued, and we've been told they are going to be averaging story point completion per person. Now they're asking us to track the specific skills we are using when completing each task. Is this happening anywhere else? Feels like a bad sign

Sep24 6am UTC - Sep25 6am UTC totals: 80 layoffs, 9 additions.
September totals (except Sep01): 5635 layoffs, and 825 additions.
Methodology and day-by-day breakdown is in comments.

I know a dev team in Pacific, which had the last day yesterday, but they are still in Slack and it is unclear why O stopped cutting access to some people. Maybe it was too easy to track layoffs. Therefore, these totals are the floor estimate.

Will we be fired for not going in enough? I know they are tracking badge scans. 31s and above are mandatory back to office including telecommuters. I am sure it is only a matter of time where everyone else goes back at this point.
