Lots of firms do use a “results oriented” model, I work for such a firm and really try to work only at firms with those values.
But we’re very much out of the broader societal norm here. Amazon checking that employees show up to work is very much a societal norm, and probably a global one for those working at a business.
Harping on standards and practices like this too hard risks making one appear out of touch with the average worker, bit of an “let them eat cake” type of statement. The average, non-HN type would see that headline and think “so what, my boss expects to physically see me daily” and has done so my entire life.
