WORKER DEAD AT DESK FOR 5 DAYS
New York Times 1-22-03
Bosses of a publishing firm are trying to work out why no one
noticed that one of their employees had been sitting dead at his
desk for FIVE DAYS before anyone asked if he was feeling okay.
George Turklebaum, 51, who had been employed as a proof-reader at a
New York firm for 30 years, had a heart attack in the open-plan
office he shared with 23 other workers. He quietly passed away on
Monday, but nobody noticed until Saturday morning when an office
cleaner asked why he was still working during the weekend.
His boss Elliot Wachiaski said: "George was always the first guy in
each morning and the last to leave at night, so no one found it
unusual that he was in the same position all that time and didn't
say anything. He was always absorbed in his work and kept much to
himself."
A post mortem examination revealed that he had been dead for five
days after suffering a coronary. Ironically, George was proofreading
manuscripts of medical textbooks when he died.
You may want to give your co-workers a nudge occasionally.
* Moral of the story: Don't work too hard. Nobody notices anyway.
