Strictness or excess of Amazon? Managers got a dashboard with up-to-the-minute information, created a stir – ..

News India Live, Digital Desk: Since Corona, a tug of war is going on between companies and their employees around the world. Companies want employees to come to the office to work, and employees do not want to leave ‘work from home’. But the king of the e-commerce world Amazon Now has taken this fight to a different level.

According to the latest news, Amazon has prepared a system or ‘tool’ about which there are a lot of whispers in the corporate world. In simple language, now the company will not only see whether you come to office or not, but will also see that you how long Stayed in the office.

Is the game of ‘coffee badging’ over?

We often hear (and perhaps some do) that people go to office, swipe their ID card, have a coffee in the canteen, and leave after an hour or two with the excuse of ‘work from home’. put it in corporate language ‘Coffee Badging’ It is said.

Amazon was not liking this. Reports say that the company has created an ‘Internal Dashboard’ or tool that will show managers how many hours each member of their team is spending in the office.

Command of espionage given in the hands of managers

Imagine, your manager has a screen on which it is written in red and green whether you spent 8 hours in the office today or only 4 hours. This is Amazon’s new rule. Managers have been instructed to question and answer those people who are spending less time in the office than the prescribed hours.

Employees say that this is spoiling the environment. Where earlier work and ‘trust’ were important, now the hands of the clock and ‘surveillance’ have come. People feel that there is a sword hanging over their heads all the time.

The rule that’s bothering everyone

Amazon had already made the rule of coming to office 5 days a week (Return to Office Mandate). But now this ‘hour counting’ system shows how serious (or strict) the company has become in this matter. Employees fear that if someday they try to leave early due to traffic or personal work, it will become a ‘red mark’ in the records and will have a heavy impact at the time of performance review.

Is this the right way?

According to experts, this method is like a double-edged sword. The company feels that creativity will increase if people meet each other in the office. But on the other hand, employees are considering it as interference in privacy and unnecessary pressure. One employee said in a hushed tone, “We come here to work, not to serve a prison sentence where attendance and punctuality are so heavily guarded.”

Now it remains to be seen whether other tech companies follow this path of Amazon or give some relaxation to their employees. At present, there is a ‘Bigg Boss’ like atmosphere in the Amazon office!
