A woman in California says her boss forced her to download a phone app that tracked her 24 hours a day. When she deleted it, she was fired. Myrna Arias is now suing her former employer, Intermex, a wire transfer business that lets customers send money to Latin America.

It might be a matter of simply following the rules or get fired.

It was her job to travel across Central California, visiting bodegas and Hispanic business owners to convince them to install Intermex machines. With all that time on the road, how did Intermex keep track of employees? Arias says it relied on an app called Xora. .... tracks workers' locations via GPS, constantly sending that information back to the boss. But Arias became uncomfortable when she realized her boss could physically track her nonstop. It only got worse when her direct supervisor joked that "he knew how fast she was driving" on any given day, the lawsuit claims.

At first I figured that she could just leave the work phone at work, but it seems she is away from work and traveling on company expense often. The boss seems creepy.

The few times I've been shackled with a cell phone it stayed at work when I left for home. I rarely travel as part of my work.
