Everybody's working for the weekend...

A Wells Fargo employee was found dead in her cubicle four days after clocking in to her office in Tempe, Ariz., police said.

The woman [...] was pronounced dead at 4:55 p.m. on Aug. 20, a Tuesday. She had scanned in to work on the morning of Aug. 16, a Friday, and had not scanned out or in since then, police said.

It was not immediately clear how [the person] went unnoticed over the four-day period, which included the weekend. A Wells Fargo spokesperson said she sat in an underpopulated area of the building.​

Corporate America at its finest.

Sad story for sure. I guess someone has to work for WF though. Just imagine all the things that didn't happen between Friday morning and Tuesday.

My biz partner literally said yesterday, when asked about his goals and retirement plans etc (he is 65), said "not to die at my desk".

Having been in and around some of those large company cube farm areas, I can understand this. There's always some areas that are a bit "off the beaten path" and hard to see into, even walking by. Combine that with understaff due to layoffs, and some of those doing WFH. I can understand how it wasn't noticed. WF is terrible, but I can't pin this on them. There's parts of Collins that are absolutely at risk of something like this.
