Were Layoffs Influenced by Mouse/Keyboard Interaction?

Is keyboard/mouse interaction a component in measuring employee productivity? Is this a factor in layoffs?

This metric is measured anytime you are on the computer. Not just 9 to 5.

Agreed performance reviews were manipulated and sabotaged. There is a strong dislike to anyone reporting on how things were actually going.

All layoffs can’t be related to keyboard clicks or MS Teams activities. I primarily communicated (for quick turnaround) through Teams.

@bv+1jvkhppzx you’re a fu-kig di-k if you think performance reviews aren’t manipulated and sabotaged. The ones doing it and the ones corroborating need to be fired. People have no honor so they sell their soul for a paycheck…. Destroying lives for self interest. These people do not fear falsifying official review documents. They have people that help them do it. You’re a mo--n to think bad performance reviews mean low hanging fruit. Cut the leadership. That is the low hanging fruit. The ones that don’t watch their house and let stupid stuff like this happen, looking away and knowing it are the ones that have to pay the price. What is their job if not that?

Not measured using tracking. Low hanging fruit is bad reviews or questionable reviews.

They may look at in office check ins, but it’s unlikely.

Leaders may have been given a target numbers and had leveraged previously constructed reporting on each member plus their value.

So MS teams is now the new standard for collab?

Some engineers still work with paper and pencil, books and calculators, wrenches and cars.

Keyboard usage metrics would be useless.

So this was a factor in layoffs?. What metric is measured exactly or software? Are people remoting into desktops? And is it only measured from 9-5?

Yes.
I work in IT and we were instructed to profile workstation interactions for all GSRs and LL6s.
The switch to Ms teams facilitated this work.
