Software allows companies to track employees via cell phones
I read and this and it sounded like something straight out of "1984". I personally don't think I would work for a company that wanted to surveil me 24/7 but that's just me.
Bosses get new toy to track employees' mobile phones
"A Scottish company has released hardware that will enable bosses to track where their employees are by finding their mobile phones.
Trisent, based in Dunfermline, claims its Trilocator product is more accurate and cheaper than GPS Cell-ID systems.
Although an employee has the option of turning off their phone to switch the surveillance system off, civil liberty groups fear that there will be incredible pressures on staff to let the boss know where they are all the time."
