Washington (AFP) - A US banking giant fired more than a dozen employees for "simulating keyboard activity," highlighting a battle within productivity-obsessed corporate America to tame a culture of faking work with gizmos such as mouse jigglers. The sackings by Wells Fargo come as employers use sophisticated tools -- popularly called "tattleware" or "bossware" -- on company-issued devices to monitor productivity in the age of hybrid work that took off after the Covid-19 pandemic. Some workers seek to outsmart them with tools such as mouse movers -- which simulate cursor movement, preventing th...

The company's 12 nominees won an average of 95 percent of votes cast, ranging from 87 percent to 98 percent, ExxonMobil said in an email to AFP.
