We learned yestrday that telecommuters have lying mouses. Their mouses are trained to simulate work complately unassisted
I don't think so. First almost no one knows what real work looks like - try getting a plumber or carpenter around here who actually plumbs, saws true or joins lumber [hell, the lumberyard shut down and the space was sold to some kind of association or other].
Second no one actually appreciates real work. It is unsafe, it is bad for the environment, and it makes everyone else - none of whom are capable of real work - feel bad. No, we have banished work in its entirety except for menial chores performed by illegals.
That also depends ... if you compensate your employees for mouse movements (or award bonuses for hiding veterans on secret waiting lists) instead of compensating for actual work completed, you will have a problem.
