Does Amazon track linkedin and YouTube/browsing activity on work laptop? I had logged into LinkedIn and I just logged out. I don't use it much at all, but wanted to check since I'm looking for another job.

    I don’t think they check laptops remotely. Once a colleague shared his screen and he had notes about interviewing at other companies and some LinkedIn pages open. He ended up transferring to another team at Amazon.

      One of my teammates has a KT video with a LC bookmark on the bookmark bar through out the video. All new hires on our team should watch this video. She’s currently on maternity leave but still on the team nearly 2 years.

    Does any company track your browsing history?

      You are conflating tracking with acting on the data. They do track everything. No one looks at the data without cause.

    We have 1.6 million employees. Can you imagine how big the IT department would have to be to track down your YouTube history?!

      can you imagine they don't? if there is any virus / data leak, you bet they'll be able to perform audits on everything and everyone.

      For sure, but YouTube history will be the least of their worries

    Bro, I'm always playing music in the background
    My entire team has signed into their personal email, and probably watch movies on it too

    Haven't touched my personal laptop in a while, company laptop is my main laptop now

    Planning on updating resume, doing interviews on the same laptop too
