Leave your company issued devices at work.
Absolutely
End user agreement 100%
Right? Lol 😅
Agreed leave them at work. They'll likely argue that they're keeping track of the tablet/phone/laptop with no intention of tracking the person.
@@kennyc587That is why many companies do it, and it has come in handy for recovering lost devices. Any company using MDM or EMM software to manage a fleet of devices (and deploy updates /apps to them remotely) has the option to track them for recovery. Our staff use the tracker app to find co-workers out in the field.
So long as they let the staff know, CN isn’t doing something abnormal.
CN is a horrible company I went for an interview for a train conductor you only have 2 hours to report for duty anytime anyday!!!! Its like being in prison!!!
I work for them. How is that bad? This is an unique job, you were being told what it’s like to be on the spareboard, which has no defined work hours, they call you when they need you in order of the board.
They're a greasy company but its not like being in prison i like being a conductor
You being on call doesn't make any company "horrible".
company issued tablets. what do think was going to happen?
Company equipment. You have no guarantee of privacy with company equipment and systems.
« Privacy »? Facebook asked everyone to renounce it, and they said yes. It’s gone. Any work-issued device is, well, a work device. Your expectation of privacy is lowered.
Wow that goes way too far. Gross.
If your companies gives you a computer or phone, make sure you use it for all your personal business.
Seriously, it should be criminal to be so stupid.
I Work for Purolator Courier For 37 Years as a Teamster Union Member I am Shocked that this kind Shenanigan Ticktacks from Companies still is Tolerated
As a truck Driver let me Remind EVERYONE THAT EVERYTHING FROM FOOD FURNITURE AND WHAT EVER ELS COMES FROM Train SHIP TRUCK AIRPLANE AND ANY OTHER Way u can think we bring everything to Cosco Wallmart and any other Store u can Imagine We are Dedicated Workers we know that to put Food on our Families Tables that we have to be dedicated CN is out of Line Shame on Them I think they have Burned some Bridges And I am Proud to a Member of Teamsters
They have Supported me Through Thick and Thin
So let me end saying Like it or not every thing In YOUR CUBORD OR FRIDGE AND EVEN UR DISHWASHERN WAS PROBLY AT ONE POINT HANDELED BY A TEAMSTER
Yeah, Teamsters are fckn' selfless heroes! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I leave my company devices at home or work. BUT monitoring usually involves a backdoor agreement between the RCMP and the Business Agent for the Union in the area. I've VERY familiar with railroad union brothers cutting private deals with CP rail. trucking companies associated.
I'm sure it's not just CP Rail cutting deals I'm sure it's vice versa as well.
Invasion of privacy since they are off work hours. They don’t tell the workers because it’s not professional and not appreciate overall to track them off hours since workers are not getting paid.
This is a common practice for device recovery, (lost, stolen, off boarding staff), but they need to let staff know.
Ya that's fine. But the Teamsters rep said that location data was used for discipline somehow. Sounds like it went beyond just simple device recovery.
@@ebouwman034 Definitely with looking into then.
iPhone has a setting that allows all contacts to see your location. It is hidden in another menu. Learned. ABout it after I received some strange phone call from a contact. Obviously they knew where I was and asked what I was doing there. They asked if I was going into an office ?
I always take my company phone into the bathroom with me for #2. I am worried my employer knows how I conduct business and may steal my technique.
I thought only the government (and Google) was allowed to spy on you.
Safety of employees 😂
Most company trucks are tracked everywhere they go, I'm pretty sure it's a requirement in order to get fleet insurance. They know exactly where those vehicles are in real time.
"Under the skin" tracking will become the norm, get used to it.
I have no issue the a corporation monitoring their devices, I keep my work data and personal data separate. If you put your life online, you're putting your life on the line.
Trucking companies have been doing this for years with rear facing dash cams on the windshields. But when CN does it now it's a problem 🤦🏻♂️
Cn was trying to do it secretly and punishing guys who booked off and were known to be away from home
We already have multiple cameras inside every single locomotive now, they have the abilities to see into the washroom on the locomotive. CN pushed this towards transport canada and made it legally required.
As troubling this is , remember folks that it's the government that wants to know and track all you do.🤔
Turn it off and leave it at work.
That's not possible a conductor is on call 24/7 they need to have the phone on them at home.
@@KB-gq7ou I'm sure they're schedule etc other information they need for work is on that tablet that they need access to 24/7, because they don't know when they're gonna get the call, but when you do you gotta be there within 2 hrs.
@@KB-gq7ouwhat are you talking about? We need the tablet to check train lineups to see when we’ll be getting called for service and to tie up so we get paid. Not to mention we can get called to several different terminals at any given time.
TRANS RELATED
*trains 😂
Employees use company property for personal use.
Especially vechiles
You want to try that in English?
@@sinisterminister6478 thnak u
Does CN start new employees at 100 percent pay once they mark up?
