Michael M. Santiago/Getty ImagesWells Fargo reportedly fired over a dozen workers for faking work with simulated keyboard activity.This move highlights the ongoing tensions between bosses and workers feeling disengaged.A recent Gallup report shows US worker engagement is at its lowest in over a decade.Wells Fargo's decision to fire reportedly more than a dozen workers it accused of faking work shows some bosses are done tolerating disengaged employees.The financial giant fired the workers last month "after review of allegations involving simulation of keyboard activity creating impression of active work," Bloomberg reported, citing filings to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.According to LinkedIn profiles that appear to correspond to people named in FINRA filings seen by Business Insider, several workers dismissed from Wells Fargo in May categorized their roles as either hybrid or remote.The filings, however, do not say whether the fired employees were allegedly faking work from home.A Wells Fargo spokesperson didn't immediately respond to BI's request for comment.It's unclear whether the former employees were using so-called mouse jigglers, which some workers have used to keep their chat status active and prevent their computers from going to sleep.Regardless, the firings are a reminder that businesses can face high costs when workers mail it in and of the continuing tug-of-war over where people do their jobs.
