TEMPE, Ariz. — There's an investigation underway in Tempe after a Wells Fargo employee died while on the job. A new timeline released by police suggests her body was there for four days before being discovered.
Raises the question what work did she actually do that nobody didn't have interactions on MONDAY? Now there is a faceless cog in the machine. Even worse if she sat down and died Friday morning not at 5 pm seemed to "just be working late". Jerry
I am guessing the cleaning people were illegals and did not want to draw attention to themselves. With all the layoffs that have happened, the prairie dog communities have a lot of empty desks. If that person worked independently, no one would notice if that cubicle was on a back wall.
This story feels like the start of a Cohen brothers movie, or maybe David Fincher ala' "Fight Club". A voice-over from a co-worker, played by Edward Norton or Tilda Swinton, comments on life's irony as a steadycam passes between the cubicles to stop at the lady's body. A sudden jump-cut shows the same hungover co-worker in Vegas waking up in a hotel room sporting a new face tattoo of a skeleton in an office chair.
Coming to a theater near you this Fall: "Leaving Las Office".
Now I REALLY don't understand all the American angst about the new Aussie law that employers can't expect to be able to contact employees out of office hours - it seems that US employers don't contact their employees DURING office hours.
There is no angst. First we've heard about it. And we don't care. At all. About anything Aussie or British. People who give up their guns deserve neither liberty nor safety.
When discovered Well Fargo terminated her for going over her allotted 20-minute coffee break time limit.

Wells Fargo wants the Coroner to fix her Time of Death, so they can clock her out at that time.
DeleteSomewhere some Wells Fargo manager is waiting for her status report. (Priorities first).
ReplyDeleteForget it Jake; it's Wells Fargo.

DeleteI always had problems with Wells Fargo. This proves it stinks.
ReplyDeleteWhere's your TPS report?
ReplyDeleteI read this yesterday, she was probably a lonely cat woman living in the city so nobody missed her except the cats because they hadn't gotten fed.

Chef Prudhome is dead?
ReplyDeleteDammit. He has good seasonings.
He's been gone for a while now

Hmm, reminds me of a Slim Pickens line from Blazing Saddles... the one about 'docking pay' for sleeping on the job.
