Amazon's Controversial Hybrid Working Policy Sparks Outrage and Layoffs
TL;DR Summary
Amazon has been using an algorithm to track and target its US staff who violate the company's three-day-in-office rule, according to leaked documents. The algorithm, known as "Unicorn," analyzes employee data to identify those who spend less than three days per week in the office and then automatically generates lists of workers to be monitored or potentially fired. This revelation raises concerns about workplace surveillance, privacy, and the extent to which companies can track and control their employees.
