This is quite the reflection on how cold-blooded and detached Wells Fargo’s management has become. Charlie has brought a new level of indifference and disrespect to the company’s employees. Cost-cutting and increasing executive compensation are the top priorities. Employee health, satisfaction and safety aren’t on the list. Not only do they not care if you die, but it will take them 4 days to figure it out even when it happens on their premises.

Yes it’s tragic. No excuse she wasn’t found sooner. That site has janitorial staff and guards, in addition to employees. This is going to hurt somewhere along the chain.
She was in CB rolling up under Brian H***
She reported to Ernesto S.
The team is quite unsettled.
Does anyone know which line of business she reports to.
Her name does not appear on Teams again.
I was able to see her in outlook as zz - but I could not get organizational chart
Need to crack down on remote work: this wouldn’t have happened if commercial banking employees employees were following the rules,
Sorry! If I was slumped over in my desk chair at home, people would definitely notice. They would call 911.
Wells Fargo has a lot to learn from this incident. Oh, wait. I forgot Wells Fargo no longer learns. They will blame it on her family, that she wasn't in a designated area, or some other lame excuse.
They might put on an appearance that they are learning by updating a policy manual that no one reads. Or they will say that we are a large bank and such things happen to it. Will link this incident with the Indian exec urinating on his fellow airplane passenger. Weird things are bound to happen to this large bank.
Shameful of WF, managers, and the employees coworkers. No one bothered to check in. This just emphasizes the loneliness epidemic the US has endured since the pandemic.

In this case it would not only be management but also the colleagues. No one cares.
She died waiting for the virus scan to finish.
Unnoticed because many thought it was typical curry smells.
Welcome to the Hotel Wells Fargo
You can badge in anytime you like, but you can never leave 🎶
Let's be clear, 4 days, so while it was over the weekend no one noticed on Monday and she was found Tuesday around 4 pm according to the news story I read. That's at least 2 full work days she went unnoticed. This sad and wrong on so many levels.
I hope it puts things in perspective for the rest of the WF employees.
Let's not exaggerate. She clocked-in Friday at 7:00am. For all we know, could have died Friday evening. They found her on Tuesday - so two days on the weekend and not everyone has family to check up on them. She was 60 years old.
It’s India. Unwanted curry smells in office now dead body. Seems no one cares just like the streets in India.
I will keep the woman iny prayers.
A company with an asset cap, consent decrees,unions and an incompetent CEO is probably poorly organized and lacks policies and procedures for the wellbeing of their employees. Clients and employees deserve better.

They monitor if you leave early but not if you're badged in for 4 days straight.
Wellsfargo bears full responsibility for this tragic incident. We are dealing with a human life, which makes this situation extremely serious. The fact that an employee could die unnoticed in the office highlights a grave failure in workplace management. It’s human life not animals, not a rat, not a bird, it’s a human. This negligence demonstrates a profound lack of respect for the employees. Wellsfargo must face legal consequences for its egregious oversight.
What dept did she work in?
They worked her to death
@vgu+1ugr2VlQ Thanks Charlie for the preview of your statement
this is a tragic event, but I don't blame the company. easy to go unnoticed especially on a Friday and if on a floor where there isn't anyone even on a busy day. people die all the time. sometimes it happens at work. I don't blame the company. I am curious why friends and family weren't looking for her, perhaps she told them she was going out of town for the weekend, who knows. Where Indo blame the company is in their lack of communication around this. The lack of communication is was feeds rumors and make people think the issue is bigger than it is. Funny how there was an initial media report on this early in the week but it wasn't until yesterday that is started blowing up.
No one in the office is even looking at other people. Everyone's just there to put their time in and leave.
A guy could pull his pants and underwear down to his ankles and sit at a desk working, and few (if any) would notice his dingdong hanging out. Even if he was visibly aro--ed, most wouldn't notice it. Everyone's just staring straight ahead, wondering why they're not at home being more productive.
It seems odd that no one checked on her - what about her family, manager? No one cleaning the building saw her? Something is off about this..
At least she escaped from this nightmare planet…
@icx No, the RTO model does not make any sense. The nation proved that a lot of work can be done 100% remotely, without issue, and that people enjoy that work-life balance. This event shows that digital monitoring is more effective than any in-person monitoring. The article explicitly mentions she wasn't missed until her lack of digital engagement raised concerns amongst her coworkers.
This woman died in the office because Charlie wanted to maintain a corporate tax break and flex his executive status.
She was probably there for one of her in office days and chose a Friday with a desk back in a corner so it was quiet. Ive been in a few of the buildings after RTO and there are still a LOT of empty desks, and some people choose the ones away, on quieter floors or in quieter areas. There was probably hardly anyone there on Friday. Kind of makes sense that no one found her until Monday, but then again, where is any kind of cleaning person, security, or whatever. Not making excuses, but the RTO model makes sense, esp when you no longer have "your desk" and all of that.
I am thinking she didn't have a best friend at work....maybe WF should encourage that again
Great, another duplicate post.
Must be a slow week.
Adequate safety controls in the workplace would be a better way to show employees they are valued than a week of employee appreciation nonsense.
Enjoy your life, folks. Not worth to live like this and wind up dead at your desk. This woman never got to enjoy her 401k. 😭
Also a reflection of their incompetence on literally every level.
