A customer called the other day completely flustered over a
situation with one of her employees. The employee had refused to enable GPS tracking on their iPhone stating that it was
a "violation of their civil liberties." Understanding that allowing a company to track your movements, from a
personal device, could be disconcerting to some people, the customer bought a
company iPad for the employee. The
employee still refused to allow GPS tracking. This time exclaiming that it was "unethical to track a person." Needless
to say, our customer was at a loss. She
wanted to know first if it was a violation of civil rights. Secondly, was
there some validity to his claim or did he just not want to be tracked?
