Are You Guilty of Keyboard Jamming?

Lesson overview

Fifty police officers fired for going to the gym during working hours: using staplers and photo frames to fake computer activity. This lesson digs into the keyboard jamming scandal that exposed a much bigger question: can employers actually trust staff they can’t see? Students read about real dismissal cases, explore the tensions around hybrid working, and debate where the line sits between flexibility and accountability. Two texts, ten vocabulary items each, and discussion questions that don’t have easy answers.
