It was a weekend. Unless the cleaning staff reports it I'm still not sure what your expectation is. Should they subs out who was on duty and follow-up with the minimum wage cleaners?

Office buildings are usually quite empty on the weekend and in cubicle style layouts you aren't exactly getting a birds eye view.

So, she was pronounced dead at end of day Tuesday, that's still like a day and a half of normal working hours where no one noticed. The fact that it happened over a weekend makes it less bad, but that still means cleaning, security, her supervisor, and her coworkers all went a full working day around her body without any interactions with her. I think it's okay to say a failure happened here, and that they should be reevaluating some procedures

If not them, then security should be walking the building. I see ours go up and down rows in the evening. It’s a systemic failure of multiple groups missed a dead person.

Okay let's fire security if that'll make you happy? This type of shit happens all the time. You are just mad because big evil bank.

Didn’t even notice it was a bank until you said. What I don’t get is why you’re getting worked up that someone went unnoticed. That’s a serious failure of not only corporate culture but humanity in general at that place.

Does it bother you because no one checks on you and you’re worried you could go for days without being discovered? I’m trying to figure out the agitation.
