Ok for the corporate car to have a monitored GPS but a cell phone... I think it's an abuse of power.

Great motivational tool.. let your employees feel like you don't trust them.
Just leave the phone in the toilet for a day.

That's already available and used, by some big corporations, some offices will have ceiling cams in them, but they are noticeable, so the employee knows they have the ability to be watched.

I used to do that at one of my previous jobs... They didn't understand the concept of the lunch hour and were always calling me just as I was getting food... Interestingly enough, I ate at the same time every day, so they should have known better...
But yeah, turning off the phone (and removing the battery in some phones) will do the trick...

| a simple workaround
simple solution. Leave your corp phone where the GPS alarm won't go off. The forward your calls from that phone to any other phone, even your personal cell phone.
Example:
Your boss sends you to a boring conference in Iowa for the week. The conference is in the same hotel you are staying at. Leave your cell phone in your hotel room, and forward your calls to your personal phone. Then go have fun at the local strip bar. Your boss will think you are at the hotel and you will get all your calls.

Re: Well...
Well, there is one situation where I think it would be a problem...
After you've clocked out... Honestly, what I do on my own time after I've clocked out is never the business of my workplace... By monitoring the cell phone (depending on if you carry a corporate phone 24/7 like I've had to do in the past), your workplace has the potential to be a bit too nosey.

Re: That is extreme
When the 'company' handed out cell phones to all the techs, I was the known techie in the office that my co-workers tapped to make sure we were not being tracked. The company got the cheapest model and it didn't have gps. Some of the folks handed them back to the company anyway and said just use my voice mail that out-pages to my pager anyway.

Exactly! When you've clocked out you take the corporate car home and use you own car, with corporate cell phone you must keep it with you.

| This opens a whole new can of worms
You really need GPS to know if an employee is doing there job or not? If a an employee is suppose to get a certain job done and it's not, can't the employer put 2 and 2 together? An employer knows whether your doing your job or not without GPS.
This opens a whole new can of worms. We have companies using GPS phones. We have companies using key loggers on the computers. We have a car rental company install GPS trackers in there cars to keep track of customers. We have Progressive Insurance telling you if you install a little box to keep track of your driving, you get your insurance lowered. We have the city of Chicago installing camera's all over the city. We had the problem with Wal Mart using RFID's, keeping track of what you buy. This doesn't include spyware and adware on your computer.
What's the next big thing going to be? |
