They can track when you get in, but not when you leave ;)

Let's be real your work PC gives them all the tracking capabilities they need.

Badges aren't important if you have a PC to yourself.

(And you don't need to install spyware to accomplish this, the network can trivially be setup to track the data)

They do in fact track when we leave, we need to badge in and badge out.
You wish? They have been tracking checkout since 2020. If you are in the office for only a couple hours a day, it doesn’t count as RTO, I was told.
Badging in a Service will become a thing, with all the attendant problems.
Yes they can. You have to badge out of offices as well.

Citation: I currently work at Amazon.

Is that relatively new? I never had to badge out during my 2012-2017 tenure.
Yeah. Sometime around 2021 I believe. I’ve been here since 2012.
