Wells Fargo employee found dead 4 days in cubicle

It should come as a shock to no one to know that companies do not care about its employees. Well, let’s not get carried away. “SOME” companies do not care about their employees. With all the technology and systems we have in place, something like this should have never happened.

Wells Fargo died in her cubicle

60 year old Denise Prudhomme checked into work on 7 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 16 by Tuesday, a call was made to 911 saying that an employee was found unresponsive at her desk. The police have told the public that Denise was pronounced dead on Tuesday at 4:55 p.m. May she rest in peace.

What happened?

It’s not clear but reports are saying no foul play was suspected as of right now. My guess is that she probably died of natural causes. It is claimed that since many of the workers have work hybrid (some days at home, some days in the office) and that Denise’s cubicle is not on the center aisle, no one noticed she was still in the office, dead at her desk.

In fact, many employees reported that had smelt a foul odor but assumed it was the plumbing system that backed up.

So why didn’t no one find Denise sooner?

Lots of questions have gone unanswered.

1. Why didn’t Wells Fargo system not flag Denise as never having clocked out of the building?
2. Why didn’t no one in her family tried to contact her? Maybe she was a loner or didn’t have any close family or friends?
3. Why didn’t no one investigate the smell? I know if I was in a building with such a foul odor, I would be concern for my health. Wells Fargo isn’t a factory and shouldn’t be smelling foul.
4. Regardless of where an employee’s cubicle is located, the employer should know or at least hire someone who knows what is going on in the place of employment. There isn’t an on-site supervisor? Cleaning crew that empty the trash and clean the floors? Are the employees of Wells Fargo working in an unclean environment?

I just find it hard to believe that, at the very least, the cleaning crew didn’t find Denise’s body sooner. Unless there are no cleaners or the cleaners aren’t doing their job properly. Or, are the employees responsible for cleaning their own area (floor, dumping their own waste baskets, etc.)?

However, what can be answered is that Denise’s vacate position probably was filled faster than the time it took to find her cold, dead decomposing body or, at the very least, before she is even buried.

From the outside looking in, Wells Fargo seems like one of those companies that is in the business of making money rather than actually caring for its employees. To them, the employees are nothing more than one of many clogs in a machine that needs to keep on running, keep on making money.

Rest in peace to Denise and condolences to her family.
