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!

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.

If they're smart they'll cool the body before they bring in the doctor
