Cell Tracking on the Rise

An anonymous reader writes "ZDNet is reporting that with the recent advances in cell phone tracking tech more and more companies are using it to keep track of their employee's movements. From the article: 'The gains, say the converted, are many, ranging from knowing whether workers have been "held up" in the pub rather than in a traffic jam, to being able to quickly locate staff and reroute them if necessary. Not everybody is happy about being monitored, however, and civil rights group Liberty says the growth of tracking raises data privacy concerns.'"

    You're a complete small minded asshole! You might not have been grateful for your job, but I bet your colleagues were before you sold them all down the river (and cost them their jobs) for your boss' stupidity and your greed.

    What grounds did you have to sue them, for writing you up? You resigned. What criminal charges could a DA Possibly promise them for writing you up (not even firing you)? Why was the local DA even involved in a civil lawsuit in the first place?

    This entire story reeks of bullshit.
