In late August, a woman died at her Wells Fargo job. Reportedly, it took four days for anyone to realize that Denise Prudhomme had passed away. Additionally, Prudhomme sat in an "underpopulated" part of the office. Furthermore, most of the employees at that location had been working remotely. Prudhomme was found by one of the security officers.
Then, an unidentified employee confirmed that a "foul odor" had been in the office for a few days. However, it was dismissed as "faulty plumbing." Wells Fargo issued a statement regarding Prudhomme's unfortunate death.
"[We're] deeply saddened by the loss of our colleague, Denise Prudhomme. Our thoughts are with her family and loved ones, and we are in contact to ensure they are well-supported during this difficult time. We are committed to the safety and wellness of our workforce and are reviewing our own internal procedures after this event. Counselors are available to support any employees impacted by this event."
