It would seem like mouse movement is a bad metric to incentivize.<p>The paranoid people using mouse wigglers were right about management tracking it.<p>Or maybe they just thought the autologout was annoying...

Wells Fargo has a giant mortgage processing division with floors of people who have nothing to do since there are few new mortgages and virtually no refinance activity.<p>They are likely actively looking for people to fire.

Amazon review:<p>“Lost my job and livelihood getting caught with this. Had to give up kids to adoption due to health care costs. Definitely jiggled the mouse though. 3 stars.”

Good luck catching the ones that put something on the space bar in a text box. Without intrusive surveillance there’s no way to tell if it’s legit work or not.
