Everyone who would see some difference by using a mouse jiggler should use one. If your supervisor is tracking mouse activity they can get fucked. If your machine auto-locks after a fixed number of minutes it can also get fucked.

I'd suggest just installing Caffeine though.

Often you can get by just starting a PowerPoint presentation, alt tab away, and let it run in the background. It'll keep the computer from locking and you don't need to install anything that might look suspicious.

Employment is a mutual arrangement - never be concerned about looking suspicious. Be prepared to explain your choice honestly and stand by the actual work you're producing. Asses-in-chairs style management is toxic and you should push back against it.

Depends on what kind of input logging your employer is doing. Some of them are monitoring keystrokes and mouse activity, not just whether your system is locked or asleep.

If your on windows (yeah yeah windows bad) I would suggest Windows Power tools. It's developed by windows as a 3rd party tool so it's relatively easy to get approval to have it installed if you need it. and it comes with many other useful tools besides the always on stuff
