Sounds like she's a suer. Turn the damn device off on your own time and/or don't carry it with you. It's company issued...

I've used my own laptop & phone for years and years. No problem.

I'd say she's got a good case.
Intermex forced Arias and other employees to install Xora on their smartphones and told them they needed to keep their phones on all day, every day.

There was no link to any content for that blurb. How do you figure she's got any case? Why not just leave the device at work/home/on the moon while you're not working?

Umm, what? Go read the court filing yourself: http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Intermexcomplaint.pdf

Because she had to be able to receive calls from clients after-hours. She was a salesman after all. Leaving her phone somewhere (or shutting it off) would have been far more disruptive than just removing the app in-question. I don't see why you think that would be fine with everyone (she would have gotten fired even more quickly).
