Company GPS tracking goes live

Regarding GPS: I don't want to scare anyone, but I actually work for a company called "Pharma-Trak" - www.pharmtrak.com/monitor. We have a secret underground facility in Northern NJ and we are contracted by a number of the larger pharma companies. Our job is to monitor the tracking devices placed inside company issued laptops/iPads/iPhones/blackberries (the two remaining in North America) and company issued leased vehicles. We use a combination of GPS (similar to TomTom and other services) and enhanced infrared topographical maps that are combined with data on individual territories including a sales person's home - we have listening devices within home offices. The system is designed to monitor the movement of the tracking devices; the starting time in the a.m.; the estimated finishing time later in the day; any stops during the workday that exceed a preset time limit; and the proximity to other signals from the same company (to monitor reps who spend time with another company employee). And just for those reps out there who think they can either disable or purchase some type of anti-tracking device, there is also an internal device that was implanted into your anus during your initial training. You'll find it if you look really hard. You might have even felt it. The company pumped sleeping gas into your hotel room and had a surgical team insert it while you slept. If you refer to page 30 of your employee handbook you will find the fine print disclosing such activity with the hold harmless agreement attached.

We also work with the National Yeti Institute to track Big Foot movement as well as UFO's within the continental United States. So, we are quite adept at knowing where you go day to day and what you do.

Paranoia anyone?

The truth is, no one needs a GPS device to know whether or not you're working. The company only needs to see your sales numbers. LOL!

How many times has this BS been on CP?? There is NO GPS tracking, period. If there was, they would have to rehire the entire salesforce over and over and over! Believe me, if they discover a "problem", then they have to deal with it. They don't want to deal with what has been referred to here as "The Big Lie". They know we work short days. We know they work short days. Everybody knows that everybody works short days!!

You idiots are amazing!
 




Truer words never spoken. "The big lie" is what this whole thing is based on, top down. We say we work, they say they manage our work while they are doing little more than rubber stamping expense reports. Silly, but it works. If it all falls apart, if the big lie is exposed, everyone becomes irrelevant from vp of sales to the field reps. So we all keep it going and order Panera for the office cows. Everyone is happy. : )

And btw OP, lame post. BUT one caveat. The tracking ability of Airwatch on our IPads is potentially problematic. Even though it is theoretically ithere to track and protect company assets, it is also tied to you. Go airplane mode whenever off the grid.

Simple solution: Go to settings, then privacy, then location services, and turn it off.

Be a good employee and work your day but don't be stressed out about being tracked.

If they want to fire you they won't need GPS. They can tell from the time stamps on tolls, gas receipts, sample signatures, reported company car mileage. They have dozens of ways to get rid of you when they want to. The trick in this company is to stay below the radar, just be as average as you can be. Not to high and not too low. Never volunteer for a project and never ever contact HR for anything. Never.
 




Time of calls is looked at regardless of how it is tracked (and technology just makes it easier and cheaper every year to track...plenty of software companies out there knocking on doors hawking this tech.)....calls spread evenly from 8-5, M-F is what they like to see, does it make real world sense-nope, just don't buck the system or you could be out.
