In the realm of office subterfuge, a new gadget has emerged, offering a surreptitious solution to feigning productivity.

The mouse jiggler has taken the corporate world by storm, enabling employees to appear hard at work when they’re, in fact, slacking off.

Once the software is setup, it subtly manipulates the mouse cursor, intermittently moving it across the screen, imitating the actions of an engaged user.

Colleagues and supervisors will be none the wiser as this crafty gadget keeps your computer ‘active’ even during your coffee breaks.

Despite its potential for misuse, the mouse jiggler has legitimate purposes as well.

IT professionals and presentation creators can use it to prevent screen lock or sleep mode during critical tasks, ensuring uninterrupted workflow.

However, the ethical implications of this device are hard to ignore. Is it a harmless tool for productivity preservation, or does it encourage dishonesty in the workplace? Its popularity raises questions about trust and transparency in professional environments.

Karen Gately from Corporate Dojo says workers who rely on the mouse jiggler to get through the day are probably showing signs of engagement-fatigue. #featured

While the fate of TikTok remains uncertain in the U.S.—there is no shortage of possibilities.

Several investors are hoping to benefit from a new federal law that requires TikTok’s China-based parent company to sell the popular platform or face a ban.

This comes after ByteDance and TikTok filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government to block the law from going into effect.

Meanwhile, eight TikTok creators filed their own challenge, arguing the law violates their First Amendment rights to free speech.

But as the saga continues many media outlets are defending the platform.
