Some Recordings Are Criminal
It isn’t just your shower karaoke sessions that could be eavesdropped upon. Several Alexa improvement staffers said they sometimes hear recordings that are upsetting — or even criminal. Like with “amusing recordings,” workers say they sometimes share these audio files as a way of relieving stress.
But those distressing files are concerning for another reason: Amazon may not do anything about it. For example, two workers said they believed they heard a recording of what appeared to be a sexual assault. While Amazon told Bloomberg it has procedures in place for these types of situations, those workers said that managers told them it wasn’t Amazon’s job to interfere.
