Controlling boss asks all employees to download location-tracking app 'Life360,' employees are baffled: 'We are not his children'

Life360 is a controversial app. For those of you who don't know, it's software you can download to your phone that has advanced device-tracking capabilities. It allows those who you permit to see where you are 24/7, see where you have been with location history, and dispatch emergency services if needed. It's become popular with parents who use it to keep tabs on their children. But who should be allowed to have access to such detailed information? Does an employer have the right?

That issue came up at a law firm where the head lawyer suggested all employees download it so they could be held accountable for their whereabouts during the work day. But is that an invasion of privacy? Life360 doesn't stop when the workday is over, so does this enable them to know what you're up to even when not at work? Read on for the story and see what commenters had to say.
