Aren’t those GPS locators a wonderful invention? Lose your way, and you can quickly find yourself again.

But what if the boss uses a GPS device to keep track of your every move on the job? A worker for the New York State Labor Department ended up being fired after investigators tracked him by GPS, to show he was falsifying his time sheets.
