Wells Fargo has fired over a dozen employees in its wealth- and investment-management team for simulating keyboard activity instead of actually working, leading to their dismissal after review of allegations involving the creation of a false impression of active work. The financial giant discovered the issue and confirmed that it does not tolerate unethical behavior. The firm did not specify how the employees faked work, prompting discussions on potential tools like 'mouse movers' and 'keyboard clickers' readily accessible online. The incident contrasts with industry trends pushing for more in-person work, exemplified by other Wall Street firms requiring employees to be physically present five days a week.
