    Sorry to inject some shades of gray into your very black and white life but your supervisor actually needs to know where you are if there’s a fire or something. Or, at least, mine does.

      Really because up until now it hasn’t seemed to be a problem? Everybody seems to be managing just fine without it for the last 10 years, and organizations using different communication tools seem to make do.

        Teams doing it automatically based on what network your computer is connecting to might be appealing to places where it’s been tracked manually. I’m not saying they aren’t doing it to monitor work from home, but acting like they’re mustache-twirling villains with nothing but malice behind their decisions just gives people a reason to disregard you.

          Malice first. Then maneuver the safety angle second for PR Purposes.

          The same thing the evils do with regressing rights to privacy… “It’s for the children”

          And what are we taking about here?? That’s right, privacy regression.
