Wells Fargo fired over a dozen employees in May after investigating allegations that their keyboard activity was fake.
Wells Fargo fired more than a dozen workers last month after allegations that the employees were faking work activity on their computers. The bank terminated the workers after investigating claims of 'simulation of keyboard activity creating impression of active work,' according to a filing cited by Bloomberg News, which earlier reported the firings.
At the same time, some workers reportedly turned to strategies such as 'mouse movers' or 'mouse jigglers' to trick activity-tracking software used by their employers. These devices, which cost about $20 each, keep cursors jiggling on screen in a way that mimics mouse movement, making it appear that a worker is active at their computer and working when they're not. There are also devices that automatically press keyboard keys, mimicking the act of typing.
