Company sends warning emails to employees who are ‘mouse jiggling’ instead of working, causing employees to look for other ways to avoid work: ‘I hope they are bluffing'

No full-time employee truly works for 8 hours a day. It is actually scientifically proven that most employees get around 3-5 hours of work done in a day, which means that most employees also have around 3-5 hours a day in which they basically do nothing.

For people who work from home, it is supposedly much easier to avoid doing work, because you have no one to physically monitor you while you are meant to be working. This fact has brought on a phenomenon called 'mouse jiggling', which describes employees simply jiggling their computer mouse every few minutes to appear as if they are working, while actually doing something else completely, like watching Netflix or playing with their dog.

Unfortunately, many companies are now aware of this phenomenon and have come up with ways to track employees' activities, even if they are working from home. This way they can detect whether or not their employees are actually working, or simply bluffing their way through the work day…
