At the end of the day Amazon is explicitly stating a policy that would have been applied implicitly anyway: employees who don't follow company protocol and, as has been described in this thread, openly and proudly antagonize their employer by doing things like having other people scan their badges to fool others into believing they are in an office, will tend to be passed up for promotions and will not have an advantage compared to people who show up and play the game that the company wants them to play. This was/is naturally where this was always going to end up. There is a lot of "you can't MAKE me do this because you NEED me" going on right now on the part of employees and it is odd to me that people assume that it would go permanently unchallenged.
