    Controversial opinion but this is perfectly fine to enable in an enterprise environment. If you’re being paid to work and you’re lucky enough to be trusted to work from home its fine to force employees to have location services enabled. Not like there isnt a million other ways to see where they are.

      It’s irrevelant where somebody is, as long as the assigned work is completed. Are you an insecure middle manager by chance?

      i’m fine with company property having tracking, but as long as i’m doing my job i don’t see why my employer needs to know were i am. and that’s despite me preferring to work on location.

        I work in a big office, I want to know if the person is in office, working from home or offsite somewhere. This feature will automatically update the status to give that info. I dont see how its hard to understand why that is a useful feature. Also I said enterprise environment its assumed these are company devices.

          Because working from home doesn’t really mean you have to be in your house as long as you’re working. Just like you don’t have to actually eat on your lunch break. If you can’t trust me then why am I still working for you?
