As far as I know, they can not be used to spy on staff. Might be wrong though.philip69 wrote:Been issued with pda plastic brick recently its big brother watching our every move on delivery.We may as well be tagged don,t like them.What about your thoughts anyone?

If they track you then it can work to your advantage, if your accused of being somewhere or going to slow you can now bring up your whole delivery providing the manager knows how to and secondly you have nothing to hide.

Re: pda trackers watching us?
If its as good at reporting my whereabouts as it is as connecting and sending my jobs I don't think we have anything to worry about.
Most days mine gets handed back with unsent jobs and a battery that drops to 8 percent when you try and re-establish com's.
Oh and has anyone accidentally selected realign screen when trying to connect and had to chase that silly cross around the screen for ages

It can only track to the last time you used it to scan an item. Eg it will give a precise location were you scanned an item, apart from that, no it does not check your progress in real time.

just don't get it mixed with your sarnies though.

I'm worried they might send us subliminal messages to try to get us to work through a strike.
I wouldn't put it past them.

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Biggest annoyance is when you are at the customers door and accidentally drop it and the battery comes out, and you have to talk weather/politics/local news with them for nigh on 5 minutes while the crappy thing reboots.

i always put mine on suspend comms, two reasons, one it saves the battery life, which is useless at the best of times, and two, they cant track you if its not sending a signal anywhere

Re: pda trackers watching us?
Be careful when scanning a recorded. Make sure u scan it at the door and not beforehand. One of our lads got questioned for scanning a recorded in the van 2 streets away from delivery point.
