Amazon and Walmart are using excessive surveillance in their warehouses, severely impacting the rights, health, and well-being of their employees, according to an Oxfam report titled "At Work and Under Watch: Surveillance and Suffering at Amazon and Walmart Warehouses." The report, which draws on survey data from nearly 2,000 warehouse workers, reveals that employees feel over-monitored to the point that it affects their ability to take breaks or use the bathroom. While Amazon challenges the report's findings as based on a flawed methodology, Oxfam's research suggests a trend toward a dystopian workplace culture where intensive monitoring and pressure to meet production quotas prioritize efficiency over worker safety and comfort.
