I've been using the same basic Dell mouse on my work computer over 40 hours a week for six years now, and no fraying. What are you doing to yours?

I have been using that same mouse for like 20 years on and off. They are great and cheap.

I'm guessing your work computer is not a laptop.

Never in 20 years did any of my mouse cables cause any trouble.

Even after years of being in and out of a laptop bag several times a week for years? I think most of the people talking about their long lived mice have theirs parked at their desks at home 99.9% of the time. Travel is rough on cords. I go through at least a few charging cords per cell phone, and a corded mouse isn't going to be much different.

I took it with me to school and work every time. In and out of backpack.

I didn't strangle hookers with it though. That might be it.
