Working too hard
Posted by: root <root@...>
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. And the
moral of the story: Don't work too hard. Nobody notices anyway.
