Last month, Wells Fargo reportedly fired over a dozen employees for using tools that fake productivity at work.

Wells Fargo has approximately 194K employees as of May 2024

So 0.006% of their employees?

It is always more about scaring employees into working more.

And probably a lot was invested in catching these scallywags. Just imagine having to setup this kind of monitoring. Or did the employees have mouse mover.exe on their pc.

Probably they recorded the screen and used that as monitoring.

That would be Straight illegal. Even Monitoring mouse movement is illegal afaik
