Is your boss watching you 24/7?

Does the company you work for track your every move even AFTER you’ve left the office for the
day? If your company has provided you with a work phone, then it’s quite possible they’re spying on you!  A mobile app that is used by many companies to monitor and track their employees in the field has propelled one company, Intermex, into the spotlight by allegedly breaching one employee’s right to privacy.


Former employee at Intermex, Myrna Arias, is suing the money transfer company for violating her privacy and wrongful termination after she was fired for uninstalling the app, Xora Streetsmart, which the company supposedly asked her to download onto her work phone so they could track and monitor her movements.

According to Arias, her boss John Stubits “bragged that he knew how fast she was driving” and that he “made it clear that he was using the program to continuously monitor her, during company as well as personal time.”

According to the complaint, Arias was required to keep her work phone on all day – 24 hours, 7 days a week in order to take client calls.

The app, Xora, has GPS capability which, of course, has been around for years. The app is used by companies whose employees work off site, for example, FedEx drivers to ensure that they are taking the quickest routes, and not slacking off.

Speaking to The Washington Post, Jay Stanley from the American Civil Liberties Union said “Employers have legitimate reasons for monitoring their workers, but all too often we that that kind of tracking spilling over into the private parts of their lives.”

Do you think it’s right for any company to track and monitor its employees 24/7? Surely this encroaches employees’ right to privacy?

Arias had no objection to being monitored during work hours but is now seeking damages of $500,000 for loss of earnings and damages for invasion of privacy.

Is there nothing that doesn’t track and monitor our every move, entice us with tasty treats, offer us huge savings in exchange for our data? It’s all so Orwellian!


Just when you think you’ve left the office for the day, the office follows you – from dusk to dawn! There’s nowhere to run to baby, nowhere to hide!
