CNet has a story up about the growing trend within corporations to use GPS-enabled phones to monitor and track employee whereabouts which features this lovely quote from Sanjay Shirole, CEO of one of the firms that makes the tracking software:
“There’s no electro shock—yet,” Xora CEO Sanjay Shirole said.
Ha ha, nice one, Sanjay! The only thing classier than creating a technology that will eventually be used to tie workers into virtual corrals – I’m not joking, it’s in the article; called “geofences” – is to make a joke about using the system to abuse workers. Hilarious! Now that you’ve cracked wise about it, Sanjay, we can certainly rule out any possibility of it ever happening in the future.
