Woman Drops Dead in Cubicle; No One Notices

This is sad, but this could happen anywhere. Depending on the nature of her job, if there was not frequent interaction required and she was working on a project alone, I can certainly understand it.

This illustrates the 'current' level of disconnect prevalent in the age of Twitter.
Considering what caffeine does to the heart, a better slogan might be: "I'm dead in the morning because of my coffee"

It is easy for people to criticize this in hindsight. Easy because of the emotions people feel for such tragic things. However, there is no wrong-doing that I can see here. This seems like it was just an unfortunate thing that happened. I don't see how anyone can be to blame for this. I find it disturbing that some comments here are actually blaming the co-workers. Yeah, I'm sorry but I don't think it makes any sense to assume that people should be constantly looking into each other's cubes to make sure they're not dead. This is sad, but there is no blame to be distributed.

What kind of company does she work for? Another example of someone being worked to death in your cubicle (work coffin).

Wow, it really is baffling to hear about something like this. It really shows how little most people care. We're often so caught up in our own thoughts that we fail to spare even a passing glance towards other human beings. So sad..

It is a very sad event. I am so sorry to know this. People have certain chronic disease which sometimes takes away the life without much hassles. But I would like to say to all who have such deceases they should intimate it to their family members so that they could be alert about that and can take precautions at right time, resulting to make the person alive/survive.

But the most important thing is
Did they make their quota of money that day?
Isn't the bottom line all that matters when it all comes down to it???

...look around outside your own safe space...you may just aid a life, or more crucial, save one...this is so incredibly sad...my heart hurts...

oh man this is super messed up

>o

Just that much more air to breath and space to occupy. A lot of the dumb shits on this planet don't accomplish anything else and win Nobel Peace Prizes!

That's incredibly sad.

happens everyday.unfortunetly

at least she was found sooner then later

had to be a heart attack

thats too bad

This is sad. Nobody noticed? Just tells what kind of society we've become. I mean, nobody went to her desk again before the work day was over? People are too involved in their own little worlds and their iphones and texting.

Just remember,....BEFORE you decide to spend irreplaceable life hours in a "cubicle" existence,...it could ALL END THERE.

how long would it take for somebody to miss You if You were to die away from the comfort of your fellow man.?

"She was always working." Americans work too hard and too many hours. Life is too short. My condolences to her family.

Everyone thought her mug was a joke, when she was actually hinting at a debilitating condition.... "I'm dead in the morning without my coffee"

jk, bad taste I know.

The way I heard it was Friday was a furlough day, and that is why the offices were so empty. Rebecca liked to work on furlough days because the offices were empty and there were less distractions.

It is very sad though and my regards to her family.

I guess everyone was too busy tweeting to notice.

Yet another reason why not to take a cubicle job...

Tomorrow is promised to no one. Clint Eastwood. Everybody dies alone. Captain Malcom Reynolds.. Peace be upon you sister. Me.

How sad. I have to say, this makes me want to go check on all of my coworkers. Just in case.

....just livin' the dream!!

I'm finding it quite awesome...aren't you??

How sad. This happened to a guy whose cubicle was down the hall from me, but there was one person who heard him have the heart attack, although he died before the rescue crew got there. Terrible shock and great loss to us all.

I read an article last night in T&L and it mentioned the growing Technology hub in Hyderabad, India. The author quotes two young software engineers she was eating with:

"Everyone is working too hard now in India...What has happened to our way of life?"

Ouch

America has a caring deficit. It's a lot bigger than the monetary deficit.

That's messed up.
Did no one see her?
