Unmonitored entraces/exits at Texas Instruments had turnstyles or airlock style doors.

replyAnd this didn't get them in trouble with the fire marshal?
If it's anything like Facebook, the side entrances (which always had guards sitting by them anyways) were all converted to alarmed fire exits. So the fire marshal would still be happy, but it was far less convenient for employees.
replyInstead of locking they could alarm when opened. Slap a big "Emergency exit only, alarm will sound" sticker on it & link it into the pull alarm system. Treat opening the door without an emergency the same as pulling a fire alarm without an emergency.
replyAmazon employees can just use all the ...water... bottles they keep around their workstation to put out the fires.
reply> Additionally, the weapon is not limited to offensive use, as it can be used to extinguish afterburn on oneself and teammates
replyI won't miss the days I had to take a full day of meetings from my car in the Amazon parking lot because there weren't enough meeting rooms onsite, but the badge swipes at the main entrance in-between meetings were needed to not be labeled as an "inconsistent badger".
replyIt was laughable how much effort and money Amazon invested into badge tracking and enforcement instead of directing funds at making the office a nice place that people would want to spend time in and an efficient place to get work done.
All stick and no carrot. These companies would have to spend so much less effort dragging people in to the office if they just made the office a good place to work.
