    imagine:

    • being 60 and working in a cubicle
    • that cubicle being the last thing you ever see in your life
    • someone finding you like that because you started decomposing, instead of anyone coming to look for you after 4 days

    edit: come to think of it, i want a job where nothing is amiss if i don’t talk to anyone, answer emails, answer phone calls, or otherwise demonstrate my existence for 4 days

    This is like that story about the Bank of America employee who died from exhaustion on the job from a few weeks ago. What actually are bank employees being worked so hard for in the first place? These are horror stories you’d expect to hear from people working hard physical labor, not in a damn bank.

    Meanwhile, in a statement to 12News, a Wells Fargo spokesperson said: “We are deeply saddened by the tragic loss of our colleague at our Tempe office. Our thoughts and prayers are with their family and loved ones during this difficult time.

    Well, at least they took care of the thoughts and the prayers!

        Not letting it get past even one day? I can maybe see going through the day no one noticing. But the cleaning staff should have found them that evening, or a coworker the next morning. But 4 fucking days?

          It was a weekend. Unless the cleaning staff reports it I’m still not sure what your expectation is. Should they subs out who was on duty and follow-up with the minimum wage cleaners?

          Office buildings are usually quite empty on the weekend and in cubicle style layouts you aren’t exactly getting a birds eye view.

            If not them, then security should be walking the building. I see ours go up and down rows in the evening. It’s a systemic failure of multiple groups missed a dead person.

                Didn’t even notice it was a bank until you said. What I don’t get is why you’re getting worked up that someone went unnoticed. That’s a serious failure of not only corporate culture but humanity in general at that place.

                Does it bother you because no one checks on you and you’re worried you could go for days without being discovered? I’m trying to figure out the agitation.

            So, she was pronounced dead at end of day Tuesday, that’s still like a day and a half of normal working hours where no one noticed. The fact that it happened over a weekend makes it less bad, but that still means cleaning, security, her supervisor, and her coworkers all went a full working day around her body without any interactions with her. I think it’s okay to say a failure happened here, and that they should be reevaluating some procedures

    You know some dipshit in upper management saw the report that she hadn’t badged in for two workdays (the article says her last badge in was on a Friday), and was going to discipline her before checking on her work, or checking on her.

    Since they can’t conclusively proved when they died, I hope the employee gets massive overtime.
