It means you should not sacrifice your health or relationships with spouse and kids for a company which cares so little about you that you could literally die in your cube and nobody would notice or care.
- mc32 2y agoOn the one hand you're blaming the company for not keeping good tabs on workers, on the other you're blaming coworkers and friends for not noticing. How is the company and how are coworkers supposed to care more? Are they supposed to act like gulags with daily roll-calls before and after work where you seek to find out if anyone escaped? This was a lightly used floor of an office that had hybrid workers and it happened over a weekend. I really don't know what more you're asking for? Maybe you want cadaver dogs roaming the floors on a daily basis just in case?
- rhelz 2y ago// you're blaming the company // Hmmm....trying to figure out why you think I'm blaming the company. I'm not really--the company is not your friend, and it's not your family, nor should it be. // I really don't know what more you're asking for? // I'm asking you and everybody who is reading this not to confuse the company with your family and friends. No matter how much time you take away from your friends and family and give to the company, the company will--and should!--fire you as soon as they can find a cheaper way to do your job. It absolutely does not care if you die at your desk and alone. Nor should it.
- _w1tm 2y agoI doubt she had a spouse or kids, if no one realized her passing for three days.
- rhelz 2y agoI wonder why that was? Perhaps she prioritized work over friends and family?
- bluSCALE4 2y agoThat would push my point even further. Work gave her solace, why find a husband? I can do it. Why breed? I can have animals. Why be a mother? Work is work and working for a corporation makes me happy. Yet she died at her work for what? Yes, this happens to all people but I believe it happens more often because complicate our lives.
- HeyLaughingBoy 2y agoEven with good relationships, this happens. I can think of two separate friends of my family who lost adult children in this way. They died in their apartments and weren't found for close to a week. One of them was actually a childhood friend of mine.
- bluSCALE4 2y agoI can only speculate but I imagine deluded themselves in one way or another. This life is stacked against sanity.
- bluSCALE4 2y agoI looked at my karma and it dropped a point. I thought, did I post something negative? Then I come to this huge thread my comment spawned. Glad one person got what I was trying to say. Wish you the best.
- rhelz 2y agochuckle Wish you the best as well. Hold fast to the one's you love.
