Give one person the whole team's badges. Take turns being the person who goes in with all the badges.

You assume it’s only the digital swipe they are monitoring and not the physical swipe. Also, I’m sure they have multiple offices.

I say, don’t care about it. Collectively, don’t go.

Occupancy sensors are a thing unfortunately

Seattle resident here and ex-Amazon employee. Amazon has security staff (previously Securitas aka: Pinkertons) at all building badge entry points who specifically monitor for that kind of thing.

Also, it’s hard for me to believe that Amazon was ever NOT monitoring, measuring and aggregating employee badge swipe data. That’s far too useful a data point on individual employee behavior to leave it on the table. And there’s zero obligation to either the public or Amazon’s employees to disclose that they’re doing it.

Agreed, I can’t imagine this is information they weren’t logging, just that now they have a reason to regularly review it. The amount of data that is logged because it can is astounding.

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.
