Someone posted a question in the above link, which is mine as well.... Sad news, but it begs the quesiton -— what exactly does someone in risk management division of the LA County Department of Internal Services actually do?

Folks just keep moving along.. just step over that body and keep working

[choctaw man]

How sad...a Willy Loman-like story, except it’s true...

LA County Department of Internal Services, died while working in her cubicle on Friday. Her body was not discovered until the next afternoon, when a security guard found her slumped over at her desk.

"Government Employee of the Year" Award Recipient for most productive govenment employee in LA County.

It's a start.

The sad thing (other than this woman dying) is, you know some pointy-headed manager type is going to seize on this as grounds for implementing an open-plan office with low cubicle walls and no privacy.

You have to love beuacracies....

If she had worked at the DMV they just plain wouldn’t have noticed....

Her supervisor would have fired her dead corpse for gettign employee of the month two months in a row and making the other useless drones there look bad....

[GeronL]

A county bureaucrat drone. A dime a dozen.

Well, they will dock her pay for the last,unproductive, day, I’m guessing....

[UCFRoadWarrior]

These days...with people so afraid of losing their jobs...probably no one spoke up for being afraid of being canned. Someone dying on the job....that is a possible Workmens Comp claim.

I am sure the Business Socialists will go off the deep end and claim this is because “they are govt employees”...but something like this can happen anywhere, in any company

[detective]

While I feel sorry that the woman died, the fact is in any government office seeing an employee with their head down slumped over their desk for 8 hours or so is not an unusual sight. Her supervisor and fellow employees probably figured she was just sleeping on the job. No big deal. She probably wasn't the only one.

[Persevero]

Maybe she was respected and given some privacy. Not being found for this length of time does not indicate neglect to me.

[sappy]

that’s pretty sad. i wonder if her work area was off the beaten path. we have a few cubes here that are isolated and you wouldn’t need to ever walk by them most of the time. i’m gonna go check them now, actually.

[NeverForgetBataan]

When I go to the post office, which is not very often thank god, I see people working like the were a corpse too.

You could certainly die in line... it moves so slow.

Has anybody seen her stapler?

When Sir Peregrine Henniker-Heaton went missing from his home on 5 October 1971, there was cause for special concern: Henniker-Heaton had served as M. Other sensitive assignments included the Middle East, where he served as a member of the Anglo-Arab Association. Scotland Yard looked high and low, but in vain. There were reports of sitings in New York and Paris.

Sir Peregrine Henniker-Heaton, 3rd Bt.

Then on Sunday 23 June 1974, his body was found by his son Yvo in a locked lumber room in the family home in Ealing. Yvo opened the room with a key he found in a desk in the hall and entered the room to fetch a cabinet for some gramophone records. When I opened the door, the room seemed the same as when I had last seen it. A suit of clothes was on the bed. It was only when I went into the room and turned around to face the bed that I realized it was my father.

No one noticed her demise at quitting time on a Friday night. Since a security guard found her on the next day, it almost sounds like she had no immediate family or friends to miss her right away, either.

Hope someone is feeding her pet(s).

R.I.P., lady.

Our government thinks it can fix all the problems in the budget... yet doesn’t even notice a dead woman in their own office? Way to go, California.
