Hi! So i am a * contractor working for Spectrum Communications
Hi ****! What specific legal issue are you facing as a * contractor for Spectrum Communications?
So we have to use our phone to access the customer equipment for installing cable and internet services. At the time Spectrum had its * workers using an app called "mass360".
Hi ****! Are you experiencing any specific issues or concerns related to the use of the "mass360" app as a * contractor for Spectrum Communications? For example, are you worried about data privacy, app functionality, or something else?
LAST year spectrum swapped to a different app and i took my phone into the office for the supervisor to delete mass360. Well Spectrum is threatening to terminate my contract because they are saying that someone is using my log in information to access mass360 even though i no longer have access to it. It is being logged into daily and it is not me.

Hi ****! It sounds like a tricky situation. Have you reached out to Spectrum to explain that you no longer have access to the app and that someone else may be using your login information?
Yes i have. They said that if i dont delete the app by thursday they would cut my contract. But i dont have the mass360 app on my phone anymore. Is it legal for them to fire me because of this?

They have never given me any contracts.
