Wells Fargo has terminated more than a dozen employees following an investigation into allegations of falsified work activity. The employees were reportedly using tools such as mouse movers and keyboard simulators to create the illusion of active work while working remotely. The terminations occurred last month in May and involved staff primarily from the bank's wealth and investment management divisions. This action, detailed in a Finra filing and reported by Bloomberg, underscores the bank's commitment to maintaining productivity and integrity among its remote workforce.
