Intermex, a money transfer service that has my vote for Orwellian wannabe, is being sued by a former employee for disabling a device that tracked her every move both on the job and off.
Employees of Intermex are required to download an app created by Xora and touted as the ultimate in employee tracking. With this the boss can tell not only where you went for lunch but how fast you drove to get there and how long you took while you were there.
Myrna Arias of Bakersfield California, who, until she was fired, worked for Intermex. She
decided to delete the app after her boss; John Stubits bragged that employees would be monitored off duty. Stubits went on to tell Arias that she should tolerate it and reminded her that she was required to keep her phone’s power on 24/7.
Arias is suing Intermex for $500,000.00 in damages.
