This article reads like AI wrote it. It repeats itself very early on the nature of offences, then it reads like the introduction to actual journalism before stopping cold.
I’ve been saying this for a while now, but AI articles read like bad high school essays. “State your thesis. Write a paragraph that echos your thesis. Say something that may or may not be related to your thesis. Finish by repeating your thesis.”
There are probably enough school essays in most AI training sets to represent a measurable percentage. (Although there is probably a much larger percentage of pornographic fan fiction with subliterate spelling and grammar, so maybe we should be glad that we’re only getting bad high school essays.)
Thsts how good articles are written by humans, though. Books too. Emails too
People should be able to speed read your content without missing the most important points, because its reiterated and stated in s few different ways
Yeah, same thought here. Even more revealing (damning?) Is the fact that it was written by ‘staff.’
I see this style more and more, and they always serm to be written by generic ‘staff.’
Everyone who would see some difference by using a mouse jiggler should use one. If your supervisor is tracking mouse activity they can get fucked. If your machine auto-locks after a fixed number of minutes it can also get fucked.
I’d suggest just installing Caffeine though.
Often you can get by just starting a PowerPoint presentation, alt tab away, and let it run in the background. It’ll keep the computer from locking and you don’t need to install anything that might look suspicious.
Employment is a mutual arrangement - never be concerned about looking suspicious. Be prepared to explain your choice honestly and stand by the actual work you’re producing. Asses-in-chairs style management is toxic and you should push back against it.
Depends on what kind of input logging your employer is doing. Some of them are monitoring keystrokes and mouse activity, not just whether your system is locked or asleep.
If your on windows (yeah yeah windows bad) I would suggest Windows Power tools. It’s developed by windows as a 3rd party tool so it’s relatively easy to get approval to have it installed if you need it. and it comes with many other useful tools besides the always on stuff
Productivity remains unchanged, i’m all for it.
Unfortunately we have like 40% more public servants yet somehow services aren’t 40% better… So yeah, productivity is unchanged, that’s the problem.
How some
federalemployees are pretending to work using ‘mouse jigglers’.FTFY.
This happens everywhere that managers are more interested in warming chairs than actually being productive:
- If you measure your employees by their work done, this isn’t an issue; if they’re getting what you think should be eight hours of work done in four, you promote them, pay them more and/or give them more responsibilities.
- If you measure them by the percentage of hours they spend warming a chair, they’ll…warm the chair.
Yeah, so maybe the public service needs to take a look at say “if we have two people warming a chair for 60% of their work time, maybe we should fire two and have the third only warming the chair 10% of the time”
I usually just run Qubes, so none of that boss spyware would work anyway
