    Sure. Yes. I’m aware.

    The point is, if an employee isn’t productive, the company should notice, because they should be running some kind of oversight over the work either being done or not being done.

    If the work is being done, even if the employee isn’t always 100% focused, the company shouldn’t care.

    If the work is not being done, the company should care, regardless of how active the mouse moves.

    using mouse jigglers to fake being at work is the kind of thing that keeps more companies from allowing WFH.

    No, companies don’t allow WFH because they don’t trust employees or can’t verify, employees doing their work from home. Most of the time, because the company people don’t understand that work and couldn’t judge if it’s being done correctly without adults in the room.


    tldr: people should be hired and fired based on their performance. Crazy talk, I know.

      It’s crazy how quickly people Boomers, managers, executives and capitalists flip flop between “Salary is performance based you don’t have set hours” to “You didn’t work every hour from 9-5”. This hypocritical nonsense only drives more people to take on anti-work perspectives.
