Upon arrival at the scene, officials pronounced Prudhomme dead at 4.55pm, local outlets report, citing Tempe police. 12News reports that Prudhomme’s cubicle was located on the third floor and away from the main aisle.

The employee who spoke to 12News added that multiple people complained of a foul odor but assumed it was due to plumbing problems.

Another employee told the outlet: “It’s really heartbreaking and I’m thinking, ‘What if I were just sitting there? No one would check on me?’” The employee went on to add: “To hear she’s been sitting at the desk like that would make me feel sick … and nobody did anything. That’s how she spent her last moments.”

      While that may be true, her cubicle was in an area of the building with not a lot of foot traffic. She clocked in on a Friday and nobody discovered her until after the weekend. Read the article next time before commenting.

          No joke, I could see this. My current workplace wants daily attendance emails from us to calculate how many of us are in the office, and thus estimate productivity that day. It’s asinine.
