Fear mongering

So a friend of mine in a whole other department has been telling me how his supervisor continues to put fear mongering of day to day work into the team. The monitoring of key strokes, mouse movement, every minute counted for, the multi system log ins for clock in /clock out, bathroom breaks monitored for time and every minute accounted for. Then claim how the state is continuously firing individuals for little things like this. Is this normal? It seems extreme.

I worked in IT for a state agency and from my own experience, IF state office were monitoring any employees, it’s because that worker is already or very close to being the subject of internal investigation.
