      Good, she should be fired... for not being smart enough to just leave the phone at home when she's not at work. Sheesh! ;P

                Stick it under a UPS delivery truck and watch it drive around the countryside :)

                  Clearly didn't bother reading the article.

                      I apologise, I read the article before it appeared in Insider News, earlier in the day. It has since been updated, apparently removing reference to her being required to be contactable 24/7, so she would have to have the phone with her. I suspect the company's lawyers requested removal.

                        It is still mentioned in the attached suit (PDF) that she was required to be contactable 24/7, so had to have the phone with her at all times - maybe I read it there and confused the two.

                          Ahhh... makes sense. FYI - I wasn't too serious about it being "good" she was fired. I find tracking software like that (even during work hours) to be demeaning.
