(sing-song voice): .....Big Brother is WATCHING you...!!
Your husband's boss is sick.  You check how much work people are doing
by helping them set work goals, and checking if these goals get achieved.

Politics aside, I don't think this scheme will work anyway, because a
lazy person will sit with a thumb/book on the spacebar for half an hour
while doing something else.  It will also look as if the inaccurate typing
person does more work (more backspaces).
