Re: gps and wi fi

If it is just a game to you, go somewhere you want to be reported at,
and let the phone have a good view of the sky for a while before
placing the duct tape over the antenna location. With any luck it
will henceforth report this "last known position" any time it is
queried.

More likely, it will report "no GPS position available" or something
like that. If he "vanishes" like this occasionally, anyone monitoring
will assume he's inside a parking garage. If he's unlocated most of
the time, they'll assume his phone is broken or he's actively trying
to hide.

Remember to remove the duct tape and all traces of glue when someone
in the office wants to check your phone to see why the gps is not
working right.

After they replace it a half a dozen times and it still will not work,
they will declare you a gps nogo zone and give up trying track you.

Unless they're incredibly dense, they'll figure out he's intentionally
defeating the system. How much that matters depends on his company.

Either that or they'll just replace you!

That's one "solution".

The fundamental problem here is that the original poster thinks that one
of the conditions of his employment is that he is free to go wherever he
wants when he wants as long as he makes his quota, while his employer
thinks that they are entitled to track their salespeople via this
tracking device. At least one of these two must be incorrect, and it
might be worth him having a conversation with his employer to clarify
that.
