Wells Fargo allegedly fired over a dozen employees for using mouse jigglers.
I wonder if the check in was disciplinary for insufficient realistic mouse movement.

I did that for 10 months there because they wouldn’t assign me work.

I did that because 2 minute screen lock plus crazy long password requirements made working hell. The alternative was going to be an arduino usb hid device that typed the password when a button was pressed.
Having unrealistic, bad security rules are counterproductive.

“An employee who spoke with KPNX said Prudhomme’s cubicle was on the third floor and away from the main aisle.
The employee, who did not want to be named, said several people had smelled a foul odor but passed it off as faulty plumbing.”

It’s the smell of corporate America.
JimmyBigSausage@lemm.ee 2 months ago
I have never felt more alone thinking of this for her. Relates too close to home, for me anyway.
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 months ago
I have smelled both shit and decomposition, and my sense of smell isn’t the best but God damn how do you confuse one for the other? They smell nothing alike!
shalafi@lemmy.world 2 months ago
No, nothing alike, but the employee likely shit and piss themselves and that was the smell. Not sure a corpse is decomposing much in only 4 days, especially in a climate controlled office.
JimmyBigSausage@lemm.ee 2 months ago
This is one of the saddest things I have read.
Red_October@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I’m not sure how I feel about this, really. On the one hand it’s depressing as fuck for this to happen to someone, on so many obvious levels. But on the other hand, I would LOVE a job where I am so sufficient left the fuck alone that it would take 4 days for coworkers to realize I was gone.
OpenPassageways@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
The “four days” part seems sensationalized… sounds like she clocked in on Friday and was found late Monday. So it seems like at most she wasn’t missed for one business day.
LustyArgonianMana@lemmy.world 2 months ago
They found her because her corpse started decomposing and it smelled bad. If that hadn’t happened due to better ventilation or whatever, it would have been longer. It’s pretty disturbing either way.
And that’s setting aside that you’d measure her hours dead in “business days” and excuse the company for it? Didn’t you feel gross including that in a sentence about someone? Her body wasn’t being mailed out for shipping. It was decomposing on the office floor, on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. WellsFargo is indeed open on Saturdays for partial services, and they have security every day in their buildings. That it wasn’t “full business days,” is some kind of Corporate Erin speech.
MellowYellow13@lemmy.world 2 months ago
How do you miss a coworker for a whole business then?
Wade@lemmy.world 2 months ago
The building has 24/7 security though, so if anything it would have been easy to find her on a Saturday or Sunday if they walked around a bit or checked cameras…
orcrist@lemm.ee 2 months ago
That makes it worse. Nobody checks the building Friday night. Safe to assume there is a clock in system, so that means nobody responsible even looked at the time system Friday night, Saturday, Sunday, or Monday morning or evening.
Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 months ago
They probably only started looking because they thought she was defrauding the company by not clocking out.
JovialMicrobial@lemm.ee 2 months ago
I would be so pissed if I died at work like that. If being a ghost is an option after death I’d haunt the fuck out of the ceo, my boss, and anyone else responsible for whatever fucked system lead to that.
I truly feel bad for that woman. No one should die in a fucking office working for some corrupt fucking company.
ChillPenguin@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I would try and do the most annoying shit to executives. Hide coffee, close out of open programs on their PC. Unlock the stall door and open it when they’re pooping. Stuff like that.

Too bad she didn’t stay there for a week, the overtime pay would have covered her funeral…
empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
lol the corporation will find out the exact second she died from the coroner and then truncate the time card to that second
fuck the family
KellysNokia@lemmy.world 2 months ago
And then charge her checking account a $15 monthly service fee for insufficient direct deposits
Donebrach@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Of course the response will be “we need to bring everyone back into the office 24/7 because how else will we certify our employees are alive ?? !” cant wait for Wells Fargo to sue the family for wages paid while deceased plus damages to their property for a corpse being left unattended.

(emphasis mine)
The employee also said while most Wells Fargo employees at the Tempe location work from home, the building has 24/7 security, and that someone should have found Prudhomme sooner.
Sounds like their building security is a joke.
“The body was there about four days before anybody found it before anybody walked up to her and just to say hi, make sure she’s OK. She was just lying on her desk,” an employee said.
Sounds like her coworkers and managers are jerks a little bit.

Strong argument for WFH

In today’s connected world, there is very little that can be a truly valid reason for WFO for most employees.
ch00f@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Wonder if they have to pay out to what the coroner determines is the time of death?
Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
Hey she was still at work, she gets the full 4 days!
KingMoo@lemm.ee 2 months ago
My boss would find me immediately cuz he requires fantasy football advice

I suspect this is similar to how someone is going to find my carcass.

I always call in sick if I’m gonna die at work…so far 100% success rate haven’t died yet!
LilDestructiveSheep@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Four. Days…

You know your job is real and matters when you can literally die and they don’t notice for nearly a week.

“No you can’t work from home, how can we tell if you’re actually working or not?”

And the only reason they notice is because they’re about to drag you into HR over ‘time theft’
