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!

What's your expectation here?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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?

[–] IsThisAnAI -4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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.

Okay let's fire security if that'll make you happy? This type of shit happens all the time. You are just mad because big evil bank.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

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
