Fired from job beacuse of cell tower record

UPDATE:
I have spoken to Verizon, they will not release the Tower records
with out a supeana. So off to the Lawyer I go. The reason it's so
important is, I've been charged with faultsifying a goverment Log.
When I do get the tower logs, which I will, I'll need someone who is a
specialist on tower tracking to prove my location. Like I said I was
where I said I was when I said I was there. This is a rual area with
lots of dead zones.
I just want to clear my name.This is my career of 30 years. I've lost
everything I've work so hard for. This is a goverment witch hunt.
Thanks for all your comments and support.
After I clear my name, I'll decide what to do next.

These types of cell phone records are pretty accurate. They are used
in crime investigations as evidence.
There must have been an error with the system because you were at the
location where you were supposed to be. I hope they get in touch with
you ASAP and work it out with you and your company.

If its a company phone then its their property and they can do
whatever they choose regarding keeping tract of it.

I may be wrong but don't cell phone companies bounce their signals off
available towers even if its not their own (with permission of course
from the company that owns the tower)? So why wouldn't Verizon be able
to do this?

Im just curious how you were able to find the locations of the towers,
information is pretty sparse online, ive tried searching myself. As
others have said, if this is a company phone they have every right to
keep track of it. If you are on company time, i believe it is their
right to know your whereabouts. Its too bad you are being fired but i
dont see how this is verizon's fault unless there was a malfunction in
their tower.

but realistically, if your company would go to this great a length to
create problems for you, I don't know that it's a company I'd want to
work for anyhow!

Is there something in your work handbook about documentation or being
expected to prove your whereabouts at any given time?

It just seems unnecessarily punitive and underhanded to me. Why even
both having employees if you trust them so little?

I don't know if Verizon will help...but I would call Verizon
directly.
I'm assuming this is a phone provided by your job?

Do you have any receipts for where you were (gas, restaurant, work
supplies etc) that can prove where you were.

Where you some place where someone could confirm you were there.
(co-worker, customer etc?)

This must be a work phone, I am guessing. A third party normally just
can't get your cell phone records.

You may have no option of fighting this other than hiring a lawyer. I
am not sure VZ will get back to you and detail exactly what towers
would say you were where the company says you were.

What kind of company do you work for?

If you work for a delivery company they use this form of tracking
because it is just as easy to deliver your stuff and go to the bar or
shop then it is to do what you're supposed to do and go back to the
warehouse.

Are you referring to one of those company-owned phones where they have
tracking enabled?

I'm assuming you're not referring to a personal phone since no company
(unless you're working for a government "alphabet" company) has the
right to access your cell phone data like that.


i'll assume that you didn't go to that area and that the phone itself
didn't go there either...

so, if they won't show you the data, you may want to see if the phone
provider itself will give you a copy... they might not, however since
your employer owns the account.

so you might also want to consider contacting a lawyer to at least
discuss your options and what you can and can't have done
