    The article doesn’t say the fired employees were doing this all the time. They could have used them for an hour here and there while they were out running an errand. Very difficult to spot that on any work review.

      If they had measurable productivity that was acceptable then who cares if they needed to step away for a while? Wells Fargo is sending a message that they care more about warm seats than actual results.

        Oh yeah I agree 100%, this whole thing is ridiculous and shows wells Fargo don’t trust their employees and have to resort to this kind of bullshit.

        I’m just saying it’s possible that these employees were fired merely for using this mouse moving software, not because they weren’t getting much work done.

          If that’s the case then I’d be pissed at whoever is supposed to handling PR for letting the story get out without framing it in the best light
