Mouse Jigglers

Well Fargo has fired over a dozen employees for using mouse jigglers to fake productivity.

Ever since the proliferation of remote work, there’s been a growing demand for ways for employees to appear productive to their managers when away from their computers.

Recommended Videos So far, there is no information on how long the employees were using the technology before getting caught or if the terminated employees were caught using the mouse movers while working remotely or on-site. The strategy used by the bank to come to this conclusion remains unclear.
