ipads finally

Quote
























Dude stop already with the gps thing. First in the jornada. Then the tablet. Then the cars. Then the new tablet. Now the iPad. who gives a f, you think a manager would ever have access to that? DMs are just a number like the reps, and what exactly would someone do with a gps of your movements? You are not that interesting.
 






There have long been myths about GPS on cars, jornadas, laptops, etc. All BS, at least at Forest. However, iPads can most definitely track your whereabouts. Something to think about.

Also, if you think there are too many reps to keep track of or that no DM/RD would have the access or desire to do so, look into how many companies already do and how easy it is. My spouse manages a large company with tons of field employees, and they have GPS to keep track of everyone. Do they sit around and look at a map of where everyone is everyday? Of course not - they don't have the time for that. But what they do look at is a weekly email detailing anyone that "flagged" the sytem; i.e. being at any given location for too long, stopping at home in the middle of the day, etc. Trust me, if we do get iPads, it will be MUCH easier for management to know exactly when we leave our homes in the morning and when we return. Definitely a "big brother" move...

Good I hope thay can see when I leave my home and when I return. Then the fucks can start paying me overtime.
 






just do the drill for the first couple months we have them. if they are tracking reps we will know fast as people will be in hot water right and left. i think thay will have the info but dms getting access will be tough just like with our time stamps now. frx has them, but the managers have to go through a process to get them.
 






Everyone with an iPhone or iPad knows that you can track either device if the "location services" button is on in the settings section. Corporate, dms, or anyone for that matter can track any device if they know the phone number or serial number....they may not be able to see time stamps easily, but they can hop on the Internet first thing in the morning, type in a few numbers, and see where your iPad is...just a heads up!
 






Most of the industry is moving to iPads. They are light, efficient, will save the industry money and are being well received by physicians. Please lose the paranoia. No company is investing in iPads to track reps. There are certainly other ways to know where reps are. If you do your job, when and how you are supposed to do it, gps in an iPad should not matter to you.
