Denise Prudhomme, a 60-year-old Wells Fargo employee, was found dead at her desk four days after clocking in. Apparently, nobody noticed her body because of the secluded location of her cubicle and the fact that many employees were working remotely. VICE reports: Prudhomme last scanned into her office job in Tempe, Arizona, at 7 AM on Friday, and her body was reportedly discovered at 4:55 PM on Tuesday, August 20. Her coworkers did pick up that something weird was going on. They detected a weird smell but assumed it was some kind of plumbing issue.
Prudhomme’s cubicle was on the third floor of the building, tucked away from any main thoroughfares that employees would use to travel between departments. On top of that, most employees at the Tempe Wells Fargo location worked remotely, significantly cutting down the chance of someone finding her body.
Tempe police and the Maricopa County Medical Examiner didn’t detect any signs of foul play, but the woman’s official cause of death remains to be seen. Wells Fargo has said that they’re going to look into their internal procedures to make sure employees receive some kind of check-in to make sure they’re not, you know, dead.
Anything cut to length will be too short.
Working…
