A few thoughts: 1. This is probably just badge-in and not badge-out data. I'd be surprised if you have to badge to exit the facility. 2. This may contain badge data when accessing other areas of the campus; such as elevators, executive offices, etc. I'm curious how they're handling expected OOTO scenarios. E.g., a worker traveling on company assignment for several months, gets fired for not badging in frequently enough. The enforcement spectrum on this is probably pretty broad, and probably felt most in areas where the company believes there is systemic under-performance; or in areas where the company wants to un-invest without explicitly coming out and saying it. Fragmented teams will be reorganized and the process continues some underlying business metric, such as the labor component of SG&A, hits the desired corporate target.

  Presumably, but in an organization that size, I can easily imagine a manager with a large number of direct reports, perhaps scattered geographically too, where the employee's actual assignment or expected work location is completely opaque. Especially if that employee is independent or soft reporting into another team.

For 1, it depends on the building. Early Amazon buildings did not require badging out. I'm my experience, they've been switching to badge out turnstiles over time. That said, I don't think they're using that data in the reports yet. I know of people who simply badge in and go home. For ooto, they are not tracking this correctly. I received one of the nastygrams when I was on vacation. I forwarded it as my notice of resignation.
