Google tracking...

gereen50

This might be a stupid question but Id like to know.... My boss has all the staff on Google calendar and he somehow seem to know where we are. I just might be a coincidence but he is able to pinpoint our location pretty accordantly all of the time. I have location services disabeled on my iphone 6. So im asking if Im using google calendar can others see where i am or track my location ? Thanks in advance for your input.

This app has access to:

So it's possible!

Have you tried asking your boss? I don't want to work for someone who isn't playing with a straight deck

Not the type of boss you ask these things.... Its not an issue except for the privacy aspect... What I do after work or at weekends is my business not his.... Thanks for the info guys...

1)Buy a cheap Android phone.
2)Install Google Calendar on the cheap Android.
3)Remove Google Calendar from your personal phone.
4)Leave cheap Android locked in your desk.
5)Bring employer to Labour Court for not paying you for all the time you're 'in the office'
6)Tell your employer to fvck off

Iv removed it from my phone, If the boss dont like it he can provide me with a phone and as ejabrod said above it can be left at work after hours...

I would actually do experiments with this; like leave your phone at your desk and go off and do something, see if he gets lost looking for you. Or, leave your phone somewhere you can view from your desk for the same result
