What do you mean by “decisions like like this”? Driver monitoring had been around for a very long time and it saves lives. And I don’t know about you but my office has windows and all my colleagues can watch me work all day long.
- andyjohnson0 6y ago> What do you mean by “decisions like like this”? I mean the failure of empathy and respect. Think about the experience of having a camera pointing at you all the time that you work, potentially recording and/or allowing unknown people to observe you, with the complete loss of privacy that implies. And the loss of control that comes with the knowledge that the system can admonish you at any moment, possibly without any human input, for the smallest perceived infraction. Combine that with the employment insecurity that comes with this kind of job and you get the potential for an extremely stressful and abusive working environment. Would you really tolerate this level of surveillance? Pre-pandemic I worked in an office too and this is in no way equivalent to being in a workspace with a few colleagues. Neither is it comparable to gps vehicle tracking or a cab radio/phone. This is several levels past that.

This isn't just driver monitoring if there can be a "live feed" (and besides I'm not inclined to believe Amazon only uses it for that), driver monitoring would not need an internet connection if there was any value placed on workplace privacy. 2. Windows and cameras are very different things, one can record, the other can't. One is two-way, the other is not.
