I guess the best I’ll be able to do is take a half day off work on the day of my funeral.
We should make dying on the clock a trend. Especially in service jobs. If society isn’t going to take care of itself, it should at least have to witness it’s own failings. If I truly end up unable to retire I want to drop dead in the middle of of a chain store on black friday. My final protest of this profit chasing hell hole. Like I’m a damn mad max charcter ‘Witness me!’
At my last job we actually had a guy die of a heart attack right on his forklift. Not a public spectacle, but it made me realize how bad that company actually was. His position was filled by Friday…none wanted to tell the guy his predecessor just died right there on the forklift he’s sitting in a few days ago.
Lucky for me, my retirement plan is to die at my desk.
HR update:
If death of an employee is certain, ensure employee positions their body as shown in figure 1. If positioned correctly, spasms from the deceased can be capitalized on to produce additional value for the company post mortem.
