• An employee in Australia was fired for not typing enough when she worked from home.
• Her manager said she should be hitting over 500 keystrokes per hour. She was typing 80 keystrokes per hour between December 1-16.
• Her unfair dismissal application was thrown out, but she still claims she was targeted.

A woman in Australia is blasting her ex-employee for firing her for not typing enough when she was working from home — even though her unfair dismissal claim was thrown out.

Suzie Cheikho was fired by Insurance Australia Group, or IAG, on February 20 after the company found “very low keystroke activity” on her laptop between October and December 2022, per a July 21 filing by Australia’s Fair Work Commission.
