  BlackRock’s 2024 Read on Retirement report shows more respondents feel on track for retirement (68%) than last year (56%), but a closer look at the data reveals some big confidence gaps and uncertainty around saving and spending. https://www.thinkadvisor.com/2024/07/10/8-big-retirement-planning-gaps-despite-rising-confidence/
Wells Fargo fires employees for 'simulating' keyboard activity

  Is using mouse and keyboard simulation software a legitimate cause for termination?  Since when did an employment contract say that was a firing offense?  They were probably terminated for other reasons.  As they say...."See you in court".
Wells Fargo fires employees for 'simulating' keyboard activity

  I have to say, I find this rather funny. I wrote a little program for simulating activity back in the late 80s / early 90s. You could effectively sleep at the keyboard and if anyone came over you could just hit any key and it would write code (my job at the time). I could do my week's work in half a day so there was little else to do. This sort of thing is entirely down to the employer, if they're employing people who are obviously not needed and no one notices their lack of productive activity then who's to blame? People will always find ways to be lazy and to get around amateur attempts to monitor activity. Again, surely the measure of productivity is results? This reflects on the employer, not the employees.

  Now THAT is forward thinking for a banker !!  I congratulate Megan in her entreprenurial venture and will be an early customer. I also dispare at how difficult it is for banks themselves to embrace innovation internally.
