Kevin K calls GPS "tracker". I wonder why, here in the US everyone feels so obligated to sugar coat everything. We call a tracking device installed on your service vehicle: "GPS system for improved efficiency". Here in the US we need to sugar coat everything so as to not insult or hurt anyone's feelings. Instead of firing or reprimanding the few techs who take advantage of the system we "watch or track" every tech regardless of what kind of job they are doing. Sort of like banning all guns to stop gun violence instead of implementing mandatory minimum sentences to get criminals off the street.

I think Kevin has opened the flood gate to why I really don't care for GPS. Why does management try to get everyone to believe they are installing GPS for "safety and efficiency" instead of just telling it like it is: We need to track everyone because some techs are boning us!

I have always been straight up and told people exactly what I was thinking. Maybe management should do the same and be straight with their fellow workers. Tell it like it is!
