Article sub-title:
> Last month, Wells Fargo reportedly fired over a dozen employees for using tools that fake productivity at work.
No mention of anyone else getting caught (let alone fired). Ever. Anywhere.

#4Wells Fargo has a giant mortgage processing division with floors of people who have nothing to do since there are few new mortgages and virtually no refinance activity.
They are likely actively looking for people to fire.

#5Good luck catching the ones that put something on the space bar in a text box. Without intrusive surveillance there’s no way to tell if it’s legit work or not.

#6It would seem like mouse movement is a bad metric to incentivize.

I mean it does not require too sophisticated software to not just look for keyboard activity, but also check if the a activity is withing human limits. Having 120000 keystrokes in 1 minute probably would raise the eyebrows of anyone
