Had a guy have a heart attack at work and a girl have her finger sliced off. Supervisor first words were "are they clocked out"
DaveMeowthewz
Honestly not buying #2. I worked for usps for a spell after high-school and those people only move to go to union office or home.

When people face trauma, they fallback on patterns of behavior to feel in control. So, clocking out the timecard may have been just that.
ProfessorDumbass
A mate of mine fell out of a work Toyota, went to hospital and got fired because no one told the boss.
nounthennumbers
The personnel rule at my job clearly state that if you die while at work you get paid for the whole shift. So I got that going for me.
TheStreetForce
I had a cw pass and not show for work. They wrote up a discipline hearing for him or else the hr system would fubar.

To be fair I think the supervisor could have been having a hard time mentally and that was a small thing she could do to feel in control.

The maintenance guy here got fired because the maintenance sup was a POS and lazy. He died two weeks later. Riddled with cancer

My ex worked in a warehouse. He this dude was on a pallet on a fork lift (osha amirite), he fell and died. They had to keep working with >

What are they supposed to do? Larry from logistics died, going out if business sale, 50% off, everything must go?
basicwhitelich
Wife's coworker died last year. At his memorial dinner bosses started asking who was taking over his workload
Freestila
colleage died about two months ago. Whole company had a collection to give the family something, it was even possible to donate vacation
THESHADOWOFJECT
I mean the clocking out part makes sense? maybe do it discreetly though?
taulogy
I kind of agree. Maybe if she didn't clock out it would screw up the system in some way. Maybe her family wouldn't have been paid.
taulogy
In a big organization, your immediate supervisor may as well be just another worker to the company.
mrthewhitee
Wait, who is firing people who died? That isn't how that works. There designations for that but it's not firing them.
PhailRaptor
They were going to fire the person for not showing up to work. They weren't showing up to work because they had died.
ccman87
my guess would be they didn't know yet and are treating it as a no call no show
Taokan22
I think I would have done the same as that supervisor. Like what are you gonna do, you just watched someone die at work. You're death now.
ToastedEggSandwich
As someone who has been a supervisor and has used the software, you typically have until midnight to set someone's clockout time manually.
FoxPesdassi
I would have punched them out at their normal clock-out time. It seems fair, and probably saves on paperwork.
GlenL
A friend of mine once got fired for missing too many shifts after she quit
lturk4645
I would plan to fire them too if they didn't show up for work. I don't have a psychic ability to know that something unfortunate happened.
Barnaby42
Yeah, no. If that's your first thought without trying to figure out why they're "late", you're the asshole.
lturk4645
Working in restaurants people No call/no show all the time, that's usually how they quit. Some people yes I would worry if they didn't show.
EroticZombiePants
Yeah the death may be sad, but now everyone else has to cover for the dead person until the hire someone new ... if they even decide to.
MikeReese9
Had a man die at the start of his shift, someone was running his machine less than an hour after the paramedics came and took him…
MikeReese9
This was the night shift, and management didn’t put an announcement up until the day AFTER. Day shift found out by chance when they met..
MikeReese9
Some of the people of both shifts crossed paths punching in or out.

America is fucked up.
TheCriticsWereConciseItOnlyTookFourLines
For civilian federal employees, there is a $20k death gratuity plus $800 for funeral expenses if you die on the job. $100k for military.
HiMyNameIsKevinIHaveChangnesia
Only 100k? SGLI goes way higher than that.
TheCriticsWereConciseItOnlyTookFourLines
Life insurance is for a death anytime. This is on top of that, but only if you die while on the job.
EroticZombiePants
$800 for a funeral? Wow that almost covers the embalming.
TheCriticsWereConciseItOnlyTookFourLines
The amount hasn't changed since the Johnson administration
EroticZombiePants
It does seem so quintessential Capitalism that even death is a for-profit business.

Donald Glover could do a corporate version of "This is America". Walking through hospitals with bills on the floor, and foreclosed homes.

Can Mel Gibson be in the same video but wearing a mask and when they make eye contact Danny Glover pulls it down?

They would stop production longer if I puked than if I died where I work.

Throwing up is the only way I can leave work sick. There simply is no replacing me
UristImiknorris
If you're about to die at work, make yourself throw up first. Got it.
LoopStricken
Well, if you feel like you're going to die at work, don't poop that day. That'll show them.
ShopaholicsAnonymous
Tbf if I wait too long to poop, I feel like I’m going to die on a regular day.
FloodingWaters
That's the spirit
randoMarblePilot
So my dad, mom, uncle and I all worked for the same large family company. My dad’s sup was an absolute lil shit and laid into him one day.
randoMarblePilot
My dads a quiet dude. Its the initial covid lockdown so he can’t blow off steam anywhere but on a drive. He goes out, ends up T-Boned a fam/
randoMarblePilot
Bugging out to their cabin to ‘ride it out’. Dies on impact. We find out, start making calls to friends& fam, get calls about giving organs/
randoMarblePilot
Calls from cops, etc. especially since it was reported on the news. Finally realize we have to call work. I get that job. Takes me 6 hours/
randoMarblePilot
To get my own sup, who’s sad but “can’t” talk to anyone else’s sup. Finally get to my dads sup. I say he won’t be a work anymore & he says/
randoMarblePilot
‘Oh I get after him one time, now he needs you to fight his battles?’ ‘No, he died earlier’ ‘…I’ll send out an email to let people know…’/

As someone who works for the post office, I do not believe that post office story
CarolHayden
Yeah that comes across typical exaggerated outrage hoax

Yep, pretty obvious that the person writing it has no idea what they're talking about

There is a profound sense of helplessness when you see someone die. I have no trouble believing someone did that just to feel like they're/1

It's all in the details. First, timecards are left near the time clock, not kept on person. Second, it would be easier for a supervisor to 1

edit the time punches by computer and that would be the habit that was formed (when stressed or feeling helpless we fall back on habits, 2

mrthewhitee
Fair enough. I was assuming they were speaking more in the abstract and not giving exact accurate description.

The thing is she tries to paint the post office as an example of a dystopian workplace but we're really not, but we are short staffed xD
