Wells Fargo having such bad management and bad work morale/conditions (a criticism towards them that’s been happening for years) that they don’t notice a literal dead body for days is what you’re excusing. It’s not just any company it happened at, it happened at WellsFargo. That’s the point. Or did you forget about their scandal forcing employees to meet quotas for special accounts resulting in employees signing people up who never asked for it? They have a history of bad management and bad employee treatment.
Yes, companies should be structured in a way that involves managers managing. A manager’s job is literally to monitor performance. This is the negligent part of WellsFargo since there is obviously someone in charge of her, probably multiple entities if we include HR and security. Her manager probably even saw the time clock anomaly and edited it without checking on her desk. Then she no call no shows Monday and Tuesday and there’s no one checking her desk then. They checked due to smell. That’s shitty management, somewhere.
Community in this country has been eroded horribly. Even in the workplace it’s discouraged at an authentic level because we might unionize. Don’t you find this concerning as an element of a bigger picture? Remember when companies prized their employees so much they gave them pensions and watches?
Last, news articles like this about companies are meant to move money around primarily. Articles about companies that are publicly traded get picked up by traders and trading bots. So a lot of people may want to pull their money out hearing this newest scandal after everything else, creating volatility in their stock which allows for better money making via options trading.
If Wells Fargo had amazing management, was a massive and undeniable benefit to humanity, and every one of their employees loved working there, how precisely would that have changed the outcome here?
The only two things that I can think of that would have changed what happened is 1) Security actively monitored every single person’s activity within the building at all times and make notes so one of the security team would notice that she’s been slumped over for a long time, and 2) management insisted that all team members are in office every single day to ensure that they all can see each other. In today’s work culture, I’d argue that doing either of those things is bad management.
You say the point is that it happened at Wells Fargo, but let’s be more clear here: is your goal to find any reason to help justify your distaste of Wells Fargo?
I do believe Wells Fargo has a lot to answer for, but let’s be honest and just in what we go after companies and people for. If we constantly attack entities we don’t like for anything that on first pass sounds bad, eventually we’ll have called wolf too many times and legitimate complaints will get ignored
