Ah yes. Work that tracks you, not by your output, but by whether your mouse jiggles a statistically correct amount. Nice.
The jigglers keep you online status from changing to "away."
Some jobs require you to be at your desk, and using mouse jigglers to fake being at work is the kind of thing that keeps more companies from allowing WFH.
Even if you are at your desk and say waiting for a ticket to come in or a call, you'll be set to away so it doesn't make sense to moitor by that.
Worked in IT 9 years and never come across a company that monitors this.
