Alley Stoughton@evangreer ...and now they want to be my health care portal…
TransitBiker@evangreer sounds like they need to stop treating their drivers like robots.
ChrisAshtear@evangreer reminds me of a video talking about psycopaths and systems i was just watching.
We have to spend all this effort monitoring the people with the least amount of power and status, but god forbid people with any power get monitored or held accountable in any way.
Michael@evangreer @BobLefridge Have seen this article a few times now and I'm not really keen to defend Amazon here but it's missing/ignoring a huge amount of relevant context.
In the linked thread it was posted by the driver themselves who described having to request it from their supervisor so they could share it online, and their supervisor didn't have access directly themselves and had to make a request.
I get the privacy concerns but this just reads like a beat up on Amazon piece.

The issue is not the retrieval of footage. It's that it's created in the first place and administrated by an AI analysing the employee's behaviour at a granular level.

I definitely think that monitoring employees with machine vision stuff is a bit creepy, but there are reasonable reasons for it related to safety, and ethical ways it could/should be done.
I think from the comments it does actually sound like Amazon are doing alright in this case, and the employee didn't have any concerns themselves.
