Weekly Roundup Ep1: Working from Home and the Rise of the ‘Mouse Jiggler’
One of the best things about work-from-home & hybrid working is that it gives employees freedom and flexibility over how they manage their workload. But not every company sees that as an advantage.
Some companies (like Wells and Fargo) have invested huge amounts of money in tracking WFH employee activity. Others have invested huge amounts in developing products to prevent the tracking from working.
In this video, we dive into the pros and cons of working from home and talk about everything from the rise of ‘fake working’ tools like Mouse Jigglers; to the right way to manage WFH employees.

This ex-soldier was forced to pull out of an interview after his friend who he served with was killed on duty. Whilst at the funeral, this person was sent one of the worst emails I have ever seen from a recruiter. The recruiter promised to blacklist him, ensuring he would not be able to get a job elsewhere, and she called out his character saying he lacked integrity. This was whilst he was tryi...

    In the early 90s, there was a company acquired by a US company 130 miles away from our university, and they offered a summer job/internship. No salary, not even range of it, but "it will be competitve". But I have to move here and rent a flat for that three months. "It will be competitive". This was after drinving 130 miles, factory tour and one hour job interview with whole, about 20 strong, development team. I had to decline. Back in uni next week I talked about this strange experience in the uni. EVERYBODY had been contacted by the company. Then I realized that the circled number on top of my CV was not some sort of score. It was my ordinal number. I think I can disclose it: it was 47.

    This one feels like a name-and-shame situation. Taking care of a new baby should be a sacred thing that we all collectively agree is more important than anything else, and bosses who can't respect that don't deserve their stations. Again, assuming this one's real.

    In my mind there's not a single job on the planet that will keep me from spending time with my new child, if is boss was a real man he would 100% understand. But he doesn't which is that saddest thing. I wouldn't go in and I'd say I'm gonna spend at least two weeks with my child full time too get comfortable with the new situation. Bottomline is my family comes first before anything and my boss is gonna hav'ta suck it up.

    WFH may be better paid by salary, or salary-equivalent, unless it is provable that the responsibilities given require more than a 35-40 hour week. Salary was always about outcome of work (though you had to put on appearances by being in the office for x hours. Didn't stop long lunches provided work got done, water-cooler "meetings", etc).

    Perhaps I can now bill for all the time I spent prepping my resume and cover letter and getting refrences, and time spent researching the company and making calls to determine if they would be a good place to work for - for every time a company placed a fake ad for a job when they already had someone in-house lined up. I had to have applied for a hundred jobs that were only posted to fulfill some legal requirement.

    My parents were kind enough to let me move back in with them for a while in between real jobs. In the meantime, I worked a crappy part time job. The worst "We need you to come in" story was on my day off, I went out for a walk in the park. Work calls my cell, and it goes straight to VM because it's turned off. Now when I started there, I made the mistake of giving them my cell and also my parent's landline because I got poor cell reception there. However, after a recent incident, I had told them never to call my parents phone again, and had whited it out of all the listings they had. My guess is that they looked it up in the phone book or had it somewhere else, and they sent my parents out into town driving around looking for me. I'm enjoying a day at the park and my parents come up to me, telling me work needs me in right away. I told them tough sh*t. The next day when I went into work, I let them have it and told them if they ever called my folks again, they'd never see me again. They never did call my parents. I was so glad the day I left that trash heap.

    Corporate made a minor error on our semester contracts, something about time or scheduling or some such, then proceeded to handle it so badly that the CEO had to step in. He directed HR to assure us all that we would get our pay on time (hr had threatened to hold paychecks if we didn’t do what she wanted). Several of us sent them downloaded copies of state and federal labor law regarding withholding of earned pay.

    I've never understood why people might be afraid to tell their boss they are quitting. What are they actually afraid of, being yelled at? Attempts to make you feel bad? Who cares? Maybe it's just me, maybe I'm a jerk but if I'm quitting, especially if it's due to a manager that's a butthole then I'm not that worried about what they have to say about it. Unless they might physically attack you then why be afraid?
