If it is possible (it may be, I don’t know. My cell phone is an antique) set the work cell phone to forward to the private cell phone and then leave the work phone at home. They can still reach you but can no longer track you.

Many companies have service plans that do not allow forwarding.

I was thinking the exact same thing, leave the company phone at home and use call forwarding to your own cell phone. How can she have a case I wonder? She agrees to work for them,they give a phone and she alters it and gets terminated claiming privacy violation? Idiotic ...for $87,000 a year gross I would have dealt with it and piled up the ducket’s until I could leave for greener pastures ...foolish female crying to the courts over something she could configured to her advantage instead of lining the pocket of a GD lawyer.

Some people in companies become obsessed with the technology and “keeping tabs” on employees. If one is a good manager one should be measuring the end results and not involved in the minutia of tracking an employee on their day off. However, some employers begin to resemble a jealous husband; obsessed with knowing every detail, attempting to “control’ the person, and losing track of the big picture.

You miss the point.

She was REQUIRED to be reachable at all times.

It is UNREASONABLE to be TRACKED at all times.

With that app installed you can not be reachable and untracked.

You can record mileage without tracking.

It could be Mark of the Beast is already here. Perhaps its not a physical sign but the public acceptance (forehead)or practice (Hand) of a known sin. Example: it is to where if you do not publicly support the forced acceptance of Sodomy one can no longer sell bread (cakes)or or work (Pizza, photography, flowers, etc.)

Did not some religious scholars identify 666 different sins at one time....

“The Mark of the Beast is not far in the future. It is very, very close.”

Sure seems like it. Once they go to digital “cash”, that’s the ball game.

on her company iPhone

Her solution should have been to leave her company phone at home, and turned off.

Some creepy guy at work is following her unrelated to business. She was right to uninstall it.

If she's complaining about her company monitoring her when she's off-duty, then turn the blasted phone off or leave it at home when off-duty.

I suspect she was required to carry the phone at all times. It is a good lawsuit.

According to the article, she was required to carry that phone at all times whether she was on work hours or off work hours. They tracked her constantly.
