Extremely sad.
Two things of note: her last badge-in was on a Friday, and her body was noticed on a Tuesday, so two of those days were when the office was closed. The other is that almost everybody in the office, according to the article, works remotely. So, it's possible not many people even had a chance to notice her between when she died on Friday (presumably) and when she was finally found on Tuesday.
However, that office supposedly has round the clock security, and the security on duty didn't pick up on anything unusual. Unless there's some rule against security monitoring the area where she worked, it's possible BOA corporate needs to review its physical security procedures, and possibly its security staff. In any case, something is broken there.

- karaterobot 2y agoWhoops!
- anal_reactor 2y agoIt's surprisingly easy to miss a dead person, it's not like they have a pink neon "HEY I'M BEING DEAD OVER HERE". > However, that office supposedly has round the clock security, and the security on duty didn't pick up on anything unusual. I can imagine that if I had the security officer's job, and I walked around same office every single day, I'd really stop caring at some point and could potentially miss a dead body. It's an office, not airplane landing checklist after all. Probably the guy was looking for things like open doors or damaged equipment.

- karaterobot 2y agoI was thinking that a security guard who monitored the building might notice the one person who was at their desk over the weekend, or in the middle of the night. The most likely explanation is that they are completely checked out of their job and didn't really perform it to the spirit or even the letter of their responsibility, but I want to give them the benefit of the doubt.
- chronid 2y agoThe badging system will notice someone has not left. This should have made security panic a fair bit on Friday evening...
- seanmcdirmid 2y agoThey might have a lot of tailgating in and out, which makes badge info unreliable.
- u801e 2y agoWould they notice that she had not badged in or logged in on Monday morning? Unless she had already taken time off starting Monday.
- seanmcdirmid 2y agoThey probably aren’t monitoring badge data at all in real time, most offices don’t.
