I’ve got my eye on you | What do Amazon-esque RTO mandates mean for the future of employee monitoring?

Recent months have seen a swathe of big-name employers call staff back to the office full-time.

Amazon’s five-day return-to-office (RTO) mandate made major waves as employees hit back at the policy; other tech giants like Dell and Salesforce similarly ditched previous remote or hybrid-friendly policies; and those adept at reading between the lines of corporate-speak would say that while Google and Microsoft leaders reassured workers there were no plans to ditch their hybrid model, they gave themselves a healthy amount of wiggle room by including vague caveats of continued productivity for remote staff.
