re: Found out my company vehicle has a tracking device

The skinny of GPS vehicle tracking systems:

The fine print of the systems tells employers that these systems are not accurate enough to be used for employee policing but rather paint a broad brush on activity.

They mostly use a version based on google maps and it's rarely if ever updated. If you are on an interstate it will think you are on a side road running parrellel and send in a report you're doing 70 in a twenty five all the time. If spread limits have changed they won't know and it will send in a speeding report...

Sometimes it will send in reports that you are 200 miles away from where you really are?

After about a week the management who thought this was a wonderful idea has had enough false flag email alearts and delegated the crappy system down to a $12 an hour office bag who then goes off on a power trip in making all of your field employees miserable.

But it gets worse, you as a manager discover from your insurance company that they are raising your rates now because you have installed this crap in the vehicles and had it give voice alearts to employees when it assumed they were going ten miles over the limit, hard breaking exectera...

Your fleet vehicle accident rate increases, employee moral unduly suffers and now you have a $12 an hour blart mall cop in a cubicle running off all your best employees to the company down the street who took these shitty things out already.

In the end as a competent manager you say frick this shite call your entire fleet into the shop pull these out throw them into a box to be stored in the warehouse and eventually shitcanned after it's all forgotten after some creative book keeping.

The end...
