I read this board for fun… I never post here. You know, I’ve been able to kinda look past the RTO garbage, and tolerate the endless campaign of US-based layoffs in favor of cheap foreign labor. But having an employee, a team member just… literally drop dead in a sad, depressing cube in a desolate office building, and left to rot for 4 days? What the actual F? I mean, my god. I don’t know how I’ll leave this life, but I pray to Jesus it’s not like that. The whole thing is beyond disturbing, and for WF to just not even acknowledge it… just brush it under the rug / not speak of it… so messed up. What a loud and clear message that this place does NOT care about you.

We are just way too big. All large companies are messed up, somehow we may as well be the worst one. Not sure why, but we are so messed up it's not even funny. This specific and very sad case of the deceased employee and no communication or action on the corporate side is sickening.
Some of these negative comments are disgraceful. The OP has EMPATHY unlike some of these sociopaths on this forum.
Fool
Did her family ask about her or seek an investigation/wellness check?
This company wastes tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions of dollars, and twice as much in employee time, on changing software. All because some newly hired smug sock cucker “principal engineer” with external name recognition told the brainless clowns in middle management they would save 30% on licensing. Yeah let’s move everything to cloud where we have no control over the hosting cost long term! Yeah let’s fire all Americans and make the few that are left prostrate themselves before their new Indian masters! No way this stupid ish could backfire with regulators or the American public at all!
1gwf+1um4UTrH Maybe she did have people who cared about her. Maybe they were calling her for days and had no idea where she was or why she didn’t answer.
If you couldn’t get ahold of a close friend for a few days would you assume she was dead at her desk? Who would think of that?
Heck, if you were that worried you would go to her house and check. Not her workplace. Maybe someone did.
Many people don’t work with their team. I am not sure this was an employee or a SOW resource. I saw Project Manager so she may not have had a ton of engagement so not showing what ever time on Friday to Monday is not unreal. She must have had higher cube walls since there is no privacy in an open environment.
What i find sad is not Wells Fargo. It is because she didn;t have a close enough relationship with family and friends that would wonder where she was at. did she have any pets that were waiting on her and not taken care of. Wells Fargo other than having unforced publicity is not the bad guy here.
This is a callous heartless company. No one cares. No one is accountable. The rot starts from the top.
If Wells Fargo had only had better security, special software, corporate culture, or better leaders, this wouldn't have happened? Bad things happen, and no policy or practice can stop all bad things. Employees do not want monitoring their keystrokes to assess their progress, cloaking it under the guise of, "We want to make sure you are still alive!". No manager should follow up with their employees on the weekends. They would have aided in finding her body faster, but at what cost? Prayers to the family. Insulting pushing an agenda in her name.
Over it. This F’s us all as they will put more office management cr-p in place.
Someone needs to start a mass email and well it’s snowball
Um, employee---->worker chattel............. not Team Member. Those days are gone.
It’s sad, I get it, and the no response by our company is pitiful. But we do need to move on…
We, Team Members don't get any respect or diginity when we are alive. We are nothing but employees - a number. No surprise that Team Members get swept under the rug when we die, especially while working. Leadership should be ashamed of themselves. Godspeed Denise - fellow Team Member.
You need a therapist? To get over someone you didn't even know?
Work yourself to death in the name of shareholder value. That way you don't need to save for retirement.
Yep. Fckd up to the 10th degree. 😭
