Woman fired after boss used keystroke technology to track her working at home

Suzie Cheikho had been in her job for almost 20 years

A woman who was sacked after her boss tracked how much she typed worried she’d never find another job.

Working from home allows us many benefits, including no commute and the chance to put a load of washing on during lunch breaks.

For some people though, taking these regular breaks can impact their work output.

This is what happened to Insurance Australia Group (IAG) consultant Suzie Cheikho.

She’d been in her job for 18 years, but was let go for not doing enough work.

Her boss had used data from keystroke technology to track how much work she’d been doing.

The technology was employed after she had reportedly received a warning in 2022 about her work output. Cheikho was supposed to create insurance documents, hit regulatory timelines and keep an eye on ‘work from home compliance’.
