Starbucks requiring full remote access to employee phones

[franklinstower]

You'll have to watch this Secular Talk video. It is potentially breaking news that Kyle was given and pretty damn scary. They are requiring remote access to employee phones.

I don't think anyone else knows about it at this point. If True this is absolutely terrifying.

Might be time to switch back to landlines.

I mean I sat through the vid and did not catch the WHY but no way is this OK with me man. The app gives them access to settings also passwords and everything.

Now this is the shit we should be outraged at.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

Need a better source for such an audacious claim

A good way to make sure your employees aren't being too conservative or expressing conservative views in their private lives. This is progress.

Da fuck?

My company phone for an aerospace company, yeah, I'm sure they can see every damn thing I do on there and it's encrypted for department of defense and international work so that makes sense. But a personal phone? For just being a batista? Please someone sue over this. We really need to get some suits against corporations who and wiping their ass on the 4th amendment in the name of "you agreed in our 1200 page terms and we're a private business anyways"

I don't mean to sound like bragging or rubbing it in my job vs. Starbucks. Just saying it's outrageous for a Starbucks employee to have to give up their personal cell phone policy, and the requirements were employer access are tentatively ok by me. Employer provided phone with sensative data. Employee can still use personal phone to do whatever with so long as it's not work related.

I could see maybe if they issue phones to employees they could expect to be able to have control like that, but a starbucks employee personal phone? Creepy.

Very creepy and it wont stop here. I hope this story gets the attention it deserves because this is more dangerous than illegal aliens by far and more dangerous than many other issues that go pages and pages on this board.

Why is this terrifying? Exercise your courage and free will by setting boundaries in what you allow from your employer. Reacting with fear is fundamentally an admission of helplessness. THAT is what is scary. A nation full of anxiety filled cowards. And this is why these boundaries continue to be pushed. “Land of the free, home of the brave” is on life support. Because people continue to react with helpless acceptance, incrementally.

Yeah these types of stories have really died down over the last couple of years. It was a bigger topic back when Snowden was in the news and the NSA surveillance was under scrutiny but it isn't a hot topic any more.

And all the while, it just keeps on a'creepin

That is a lot of projection man. Hard to take your post seriously here. This is already happening and so far as I can tell there is no outrage about it. Employers having remote access to your phone and all of its settings is no joke.

It’s actually you that’s projecting. Trying to characterize/label instead of trying to understand. Another byproduct of fear. As if what you take seriously represents any standard of truth.
