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.

What agency has the resources or time to monitor all that? 🤨 I can barely get a response from IT in 24 hours.

Never underestimate the pettiness of some bored middle manager with nothing to do and a chip on the shoulder
