Reported 8 months ago
Several employees at Wells Fargo in the US were recently fired for allegedly using a 'lazy tool' that enabled their mouse and keyboard to simulate activity, creating a facade of being busy to deceive the company's online monitoring system. This behavior was reported to the federal Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). The employees, all from the bank's wealth and investment department, were found purchasing 'mouse jigglers' devices to evade monitoring systems, with the equipment being affordable and popular among remote workers. This incident reflects the increasing trend of companies reconsidering remote work or implementing stricter monitoring systems to prevent employee misconduct.
