In July, one boss, Michael Patrón, took to X, formerly Twitter, to say he’d just fired two workers who were using mouse-moving technology to mimic work. In a recent filing, her manager said the role required over 500 keystrokes per hour - she was averaging less than 100.
In Australia, a woman said she was fired from her consultant role after her employer’s monitoring software found “very low keystroke activity” on her laptop between October and December. Working from home doesn’t mean you’re free from your boss’s watchful eye.
