Australia's largest junkmail distributor, PMP, is requiring their teen delivery force to strap on GPS systems so the employees can be tracked as they drop off pamphlets. From the Sydney Morning Herald:
In a sign that PMP predicted some staff would leave, the information package given to the walkers with the tracking devices – chirpily entitled "GPS Is Here!" – included a resignation form.
"Under the process I feel I no longer wish to walk for PMP Distribution and herewith terminate my position," it says.
But yesterday the company's managing director, Brian Evans, said most walkers supported the move.
"The professional people who do this job are happy they can now prove they have done a good job," he said.
