The case has shocked everyone and people are questioning how an employee died at work without anyone coming to know about it.
Denise Prudhomme, a sixty-year-old, worked at the American financial services’s corporate office in Tempe, Arizona. She clocked in at 7 am on August 16, Friday. On Tuesday, August 20, she was found in her cubicle at 4:55 pm by the police and was pronounced dead.
The preliminary investigation did not indicate any foul play. According to the USA Today report, the company remarked that the employee’s desk was located in a very “underpopulated area,” and hence went unnoticed during the weekend.
The Tempe police received a call from the Wells Fargo office in the 1100 block of West Washington Street. The security staff suspected a dead employee and made the call.
The cause of her death is not known yet but the police do not suspect any foul play.
The company says that Prudhomme’s cubicle is located in a very “underpopulated area”, which is why no one noticed her at her desk. Her cubicle is on the third floor of the building and far away from the main aisle.
The company released a basic statement saying, “We are deeply saddened by the loss of our colleague, Denise Prudhomme. Our thoughts are with her family and loved ones, and we are in contact to ensure they are well supported during this difficult time.”
It is reportedly providing counselling to everyone affected by the incident. It is also reviewing its internal procedures.
The incident shook the staff at the company and people were visibly disturbed to know that a co-worker died at work and no one noticed. According to a report by KPXN, most of the people are the company work remotely. Those who were physically present reported a foul odour which got worse.
Social media is flooded with angry reactions from people who are hurt to see that the company didn’t notice that an employee was missing for four whole days. Some people said that big corporations “don’t give a damn” about employees.
Others questioned why her colleagues didn’t drop in to say “Hi” or “Goodbye” to her on Monday or Friday….CLICK HERE TO READ MORE ARTICLE>>>
