A Central California woman claims she was fired after uninstalling an app that her employer required her to run constantly on her company issued iPhone—an app that tracked her every move 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
They call it "security" :suss:

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

Clearly didn't bother reading the article.

I actually did read the article. What did I miss?

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.
