"We're deeply saddened by the loss of whatshername, who no one even noticed was dead."

The custodial staff is doing a heck of a job.

Unless she *tailgated in and was there less tan a full workday.

*tailgating is when you follow another employee into the building (who knows you work there) and do not scan your badge to access the facility

Aside from her own department and manager's not checking-in on their employees or, even noticing who's in their office/cubicle/space or not, this is on security.

She checked-in but, didn't check-out...end of the day that should've been a flag. That should've been a project to hunt-down for the security manager/director in the morning and see if a badge is working correctly. But a second day goes by, then a third, at what point does the security system start ringing alarms and chimes that the building personnel-log isn't balancing...day-4?

It probably became pretty obvious by four days.

Will she get paid for those days.

Technically, she was there…

Kind of like the Hotel California - she checked out but didn't leave.

To be fair, the weekend was included in those 4 days…

So is that regular time and a half or double time?

Rightwire

Typically cleaning people are in the buildings like that evenings and weekends. No one noticed a lady lying across her desk until the following work day???

I considered that a distinct possibility for me. I was working a four day holiday weekend. Maybe it was Thanksgiving. Place was deserted and I suddenly had chest pains and couldn't breathe. I was thinking people would come in on Monday and find me dead. I called my wife to say goodbye. She went through some checklist to make sure it wasn't a heart attack. She said, how about I called our doctor to see if she could see me.

I obviously made it through but it started a protracted months long episode of figuring out what I had.

Scanned in to work on 8/16 Friday morning and died sometime later. Wasn't found until Tuesday morning. Even with the weekend taken into account, that's unacceptable. Monday wasn't a holiday. Even when she decomposed enough to emit the foul odor, they blew it off as "faulty plumbing".

Moral of the story, make sure your job duty requires frequent interactions with your colleagues.

That’s horrible. Her freaking coworkers should be ashamed. An onsite job? Come on.
