In the second 1990s office culture throwback story of the day that somehow manages to be considerably darker than the first one, NBC News reports that a 60 year-old Arizona woman employed by Wells Fargo was found dead in her cubicle on August 20th – four days after she had last scanned in with her keycard – and her coworkers only found her after they noticed a foul odor.
“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,” the deeply corrupt bank said in a statement, making it clear they were saddened by the negative publicity stemming from no one being aware of Denise Prudhomme’s apparent Friday, August 16th death until Tuesday, August 20th.
Seriously how fucked up is this company that her supervisor in this Tempe office didn’t at the very least notice on Monday morning that she hadn’t clocked out the previous Friday and called her to check in if nobody otherwise dropped by her cubicle as part of regular interaction? We hate to say fucking Scott Adams was right about this sort of dystopian shit, but damn. He really was.
