While that may be true, her cubicle was in an area of the building with not a lot of foot traffic. She clocked in on a Friday and nobody discovered her until after the weekend. Read the article next time before commenting.
Yeah that’s kinda my point. First of all, how is the US even involved in this. Second, the US is comparing us to another countries distribution of basic food needs. We have a whole host of people who can’t afford bread. So how is this a flex?
There should be a service that people can sign up for that would have someone call, text, or email to check in on people with no family or friends. That way if something does happen to them, and they do not respond to repeated attempts at checking in, authorities can be notified sooner than 4 days later.
And I bet someone smarter than myself could figure out a way to have the service subsidized so it is not expensive for people to use; especially older folks who may be on a fixed income.
Services such as these do exist, but I believe there is a social/mental stigma to them, in addition to any cost barrier. A lot of people think “this will never happen to me” or “maybe I will need this when I’m older, but not now.”
It would really cost pennies to implement. A text or email goes out and you have 3 hours to respond before a person is notified. Then a friend could be messaged or an admin could call your phone or your emergency number, like your work etc. they would make sure someone knows that you need to be checked on
That’s one of the roles that churches, synagogues, mosques, etc. used to have (and still do). As societies have left behind religious institutions, we still haven’t figured out how to replace the many vital social functions that they used to provide.
spreading misinformation about racial minorities’ intelligence and physiology to his audience of 176.3 million followers—a dynamic my colleague Garrison Hayes analyzes in his latest video for Mother Jones.
Can we please pass a law that takes away his government contracts, toys, and celebrity and deport this mother fucker already?
I predict the deceased's executor will have to sue Wells Fargo for their last paycheck. They'll claim they were working the full 4 days since they were found. And entitled to overtime since they're hourly rather than salaried.
I really want to know the whole story, because I keep making up so many in my head.
Maybe the managers kept her on because she had nothing else and she was past her prime and didn’t actually do any work, but like there’s a spare desk up on the third floor, have a heart, Jake.
Or she had gone in and out each day but, like so many employees, forgot to use the clock. Especially older employees who can’t be bothered with such nonsense.
Why was she sneaking in on a Friday when everyone else was leaving? Heist, baby. But she got double crossed by her team after she hacked the server.
