Our company decided to give plant operators and maintenance people locator tags so they can tell if someone is working on the wrong component. A little Big Brother but the consequences of working on the wrong component can literally cost $1,000,000/day.But then some genius decided that we ALL need to wear them with the justification that they need to know where we are in case of a plant emergency.I don’t work in the plant and I’m not allowed to touch plant equipment so that seems somewhat lame to me. My locator stays in my truck with my security badge. On the rare occasion that I do go into the plant I’ll put them on. Paranoid? Perhaps, but I don’t need a supervisor telling me that my annual pay raise has been limited because I spent too much time in the bathroom.

Mandate smart phones. Works the same and every one will want one.

Ankle bracelets can be dump or cut off. Cell phones are needed in case you your homies want you.
