Just curious: What is the basis of firing people using these? I mean, what’s the justification, public or otherwise, for saying this is not allowed?
I use an autohotkey script for something similar myself, mainly so the laptop doesn’t fall asleep while I’m waiting for something. I don’t really care about what my employer may or may not think about it though, as I handed in my notice last month.
This alone wasnt the issue. They weren’t getting their work done and they would never respond when they showed they were online. Respondes would be 2-4 hours later and always some excuse of “oh I didn’t notice the message”. When we discovered that they had this and weren’t doing work because, well they weren’t doing anything, they were gone.

Ah, ok. That makes sense; the wiggler was seen more as proof than the issue itself.
