While they do have some legitimate uses, "mouse jigglers" have gained notoriety for being misused.

How some federal employees 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”
