Wells Fargo has fired over a dozen employees for faking keyboard activity to appear to work when they’re not.
The bank caught on because they used surveillance software on remote employees in the company's wealth- and investment-management unit.
Yes, this is undoubtedly unethical, but so is tracking employees without their knowledge.
No software can replace human trust and empathy between manager and employee.
And there is an important piece of information missing here: Did the employees do their jobs?
If these workers were meeting deadlines, and completing their assignments the issue here is with the employer, not the employees.
That’s why it's time we change how our workdays work.
On that note, I’m James Brown, and as always be well.
