If your device is on a BES server from work, may not happen they control the device and can lock you frfom changing the settings. Even if you do, work will know and will turn it back on. If keeps happening, I am sure you will be called on the carpet about it.
If not, you can turn it off by going in to options>advanced options>GPS and change GPS services to 911 only
Yeah I doubt you will have much luck on it if it's a company phone. What would happen if you forgot to turn it on one day and they were trying to see where you were? I'm sure the boss man wouldn't be too happy about it.
