School custodian refuses to download phone app that monitors location, says it got her fired

https://www.cbc.ca/news/gopublic/tattleware-privacy-employment-1.5978337 last October, after being on the job for about six weeks, her boss at the cleaning company sent out a companywide message — telling employees to download an app on their personal phones that would check their location and ensure they were working their scheduled hours. Dionne found the request offensive and refused. “I was at the school working so that I could provide for my son,” she told Go Public. “We're not thieves.

I think tech advances have created work environments of shaming, blaming and confusion that are serious interpersonal hazards.
