Wells Fargo Fires Over a Dozen Employees for Faking Keyboard Activity

The bank's wealth and investment management unit saw terminations following an investigation into simulated work behaviors.

Wells Fargo terminated over a dozen employees for simulating keyboard activity to appear productive.
The investigation did not specify whether the employees were working remotely or in-office.
The firings come amid increased use of surveillance tools by employers post-pandemic.
Mouse jigglers and other devices to fake activity have become popular among remote workers.
Wells Fargo has emphasized its commitment to high ethical standards and does not tolerate unethical behavior.
