Spying bosses | Viral TikTok video shows remote staff how to 'fake work' as WFH snooping rises

Remote staff have discovered a new device which helps them trick snooping bosses into thinking they are at their desk.

In a viral TikTok video, reported by the Metro, an advertising worker called Leah revealed how she had taken to using a “mouse-mover” device, which can be purchased through the likes of Amazon and Ebay.

The video demonstration shows the small device automatically and sporadically moving the mouse, which is placed on top of it, to prevent their computer was going to sleep mode or changing their Teams status to "away" while they step away from their desk for a brief period.
