post malone ergo propter malone: if they actually only fired half a dozen people I would guess that this was not the result of a universal audit

if you have policies that incentivize employees in any way to use a mouse jiggler and you then run an audit that detects people using a mouse jiggler I think you kind of have to fire those people. you should really avoid the first two things though

Wells Fargo fired a dozen people accused of faking keyboard strokes | CNN Businesswww.cnn.com The pandemic may have released us from the tyranny of the five-day-a-week office schedule. But the grip of America’s busy-work culture is proving harder to shake.

This is true, but it's trivially true. The real problem here is that Wells Fargo's management and C-suite apparently do not believe that the purpose of work is to complete tasks to gain income, it's to have a timeshare in your employee's life.

if they actually only fired half a dozen people I would guess that this was not the result of a universal audit

but yeah that’s what my last sentence was gesturing towards

I bet you dollars to donuts they're doing this hyper-controlling shit to everyone, they just sacked the ones that were obvious. The ones that were less obvious were probably sent a "you aren't working hard enough, work harder or you're out the door next" email.

I bet the policy is on the books for everyone (mistake but one which sounds pretty good) and they just started turning over rocks

tbqh I wonder how many of those fired were those people who were involved in some of the uh, unionization efforts because like, thing people don't seem to remember is that like, if I recall some person of there's died after working 100hr workweeks?

Ah, Karoshi, lovely.

Could have been a universal audit for detectable use of this particular hack, especially if they're less worried about workers sometimes going AFK than they're worried about employees who decide to use underhand means to lie to them, while being trusted with customers' money.

Wells Fargo has ~200k employees. I do not find it plausible that a universal audit for this would only hit six

I guess I just have no idea how many people might be using one particular type of hack.

Wonder if they suspected these people were working multiple jobs at once

I guess we don’t know for sure that this was mouse jiggler stuff but it seems like if you’re working multiple email jobs you probably don’t need a mouse jiggler?

You do if they’re on separate laptops. There’s no way someone was working another job from their Wells Fargo computer
