On Reddit I keep seeing people talk about getting a mouse jiggler. I don’t see why this even makes sense especially now that they are programs that easily detect this, it just feels like people who would do this make work from home things we don’t get to have. Do you know if anybody in your organization does this?

I've heard about this too. Thankfully I haven't been in orgs that monitored always online, and with constant travel our team is always working random hours. I think you'd know by performance and outcomes unless they're getting their stuff done.. then props to them for hacking the system. 🫡

Wow thats crazy. This is why some companies dont want to allow remote work! This would be so frustrating if I found out someone I work with did that

Do people even check if people are online anymore? Maybe they do I don’t know, I don’t have an issue with it

I’ve been tempted to get it off and on throughout my career.

For example, I step away for a bathroom break - I’ve been asked “are you okay, why are you away from your desk”.

Jiggler would show I’m available, which is true. Especially as I usually bring my phone with me and can still respond to messages if needed.

Yes I work with a massive micromanager, but I would value my teams icon showing I’m always available so I don’t deal with the headache of activity micromanagement.
