Pure ragebait, location awareness existed pre-Teams in Lync/Skype/whatever. Sounds like this was written by someone who thinks they're being sneaky by fucking off at work. They already know. Badge swipes and 1000 other ways.
? I’m not sure who would really care about this feature. We can usually tell based on your background. And the people that have to be in office are tracked typically with badge swipes. And if you’re really that determined to work remote and your company doesn’t support it, wouldn’t it be better just to find a company that does rather than sneaking around?
Not condoning cheating - the point about just finding another job is it might not be that easy for people depending on what they do, what industry it's in, the number of jobs accessible to them at any given time, or average for those skills.

I know smaller companies might not have badging systems that can provide such analytics (or badging systems at all), but the Amazon anecdote smells fishy to say the least.

People with the most in demand skills already are able to do that and companies still are confused why they can't find the skilled labor they desire.
Some are doing RTO. Most people are coming back. Some are quitting and finding other jobs. And that’s fine for both parties.
Nobody is sticking it to anybody.

A computer can't know anything except what the environment tells it, and since you control the environment you can tell it whatever you want.

I think that’s what is being insinuated.
Maybe this is a setup issue within our org, I don't know.
Reality is, Corp IT has visibility on who is or isn't in the office already, so hyperventilating about Teams adding this capability is moot.

The supposed benefit of being in the office is because teams work better in person. If everybody else is at the office, it’s obvious who isn’t there.
